The Public Record
We have heard a lot of talk about how our Nation must pay its bills. But one major reason we are in this position is an unpaid for trillion- dollar stimulus bill that did not increase economic growth, did not create jobs, and simply added…
I point out to my friends on the other side that, in recent memory, there have been seven instances where debt limits were part of other major pieces of legislation. For example, in the first Bush administration, there was a Balanced…
Washington should be removing obstacles to individuals finding full-time work, not creating them.
the law is increasing costs for families and individuals already struggling in this economy.
the employer mandate is bad for business and, in turn, bad for American workers.
Those at highest risk are workers in predominately low-wage industries that are right on the cusp of what is considered full-time work under the law.
ObamaCare imposes large and disproportionate costs on employers and has created a new class of employees, the 'ObamaCare 29ers.'
I think the greater concern today better be how we are destroying the American people's confidence in the government that continues to come out with policies that destroy our middle class.
the pain ObamaCare is inflicting both on job creators and hardworking Americans is only getting worse.
the 30-hour rule in the healthcare law... is forcing employers to make the tough decision of cutting hours and workers.
If I were to adopt the Democrat language, I would probably say that the 30-hour rule is a weapon on the war on women, the war on lower income folks, the war on the vulnerable, the war on seniors, the war on job creation, the war on school…

I thank the Chair for that admonition, and I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Young), the distinguished member of the Ways and Means Committee.
I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, the reason this legislation is important is that, from what little information we do have, we know the administration is not meeting their stated goals, and they are not on track to meet…
Today I rise on behalf of the people I represent in Michigan's Fourth District who are feeling the real impact of ObamaCare. They are paying more for health care, losing the coverage they have and like, and having their work hours cut. I…
I think critically important, of that 7 million, 2.3 million of those need to be young and healthy.
if people can't navigate such a dysfunctional and overly complex system, is it fair for the IRS to impose tax penalties?
Why doesn't the website work? Why were the American people told everything would be ready, when it was clear that was not the case?
Yeah, but the law is that if they are eligible for Medicaid they are not enrolling in the exchange.
Because that would mean of those 700,000, a significant portion would not be in the exchange if they are qualifying for Medicaid.
This hearing provides a chance for every Member of this committee to proceed in a constructive, not a destructive manner.
So I would take them back to pre-Affordable Care Act days where in fact if you were in the individual market, you were living at a 50 percent churn.
What I want to see more from this committee is how can we improve and get quality health care for all Americans.
I understand you are not publicly releasing those numbers, but I am asking do you have any idea of on a weekly basis how many people enroll?
