Obamacare as we know is the crown jewel of socialism.

I jumped in with both feet and gave it everything I had and I didn't hold back. I wasn't politically correct.

Tragically, the Federal Reserve's policies have facilitated deficit spending, encouraged the accumulation of $17.6 trillion in national debt, caused market volatility, failed to reinvigorate the sluggish American economy, and will cause…

By the way, isn't it true, if the gentleman recalls, that while this Supreme Court Justice was just advocating, in a flippant way, drop health insurance coverage for over 16,000 employees, doesn't that same Supreme Court Justice enjoy…

She also fails to understand that the Federal Government again is practicing censorship and that the Federal Government is the one forcing its vision of morality and religious belief on every American. Again, that is government-enforced…

That is why I call it a gangster government. It is a gangster government when you have to buy protection from your own government. In this instance, it is over $36,000 per year, per employee. In fact, the fine is in excess of what the wage…

The gentleman is absolutely correct because in that statement lies the premise. The premise that the justice is embracing is that you don't have a guaranteed right to religious expression and to religious thought; you don't have that…

It seems like two things have gone on. While the secret negotiations were going on between the United States and Iran, it seems to me that at the worst possible time in the negotiations, beginning last June, the United States intentionally…

But it seems that additional sanctions against Iran would be exactly what is needed now to let Iran know that the United States would do whatever it takes, including a military option, to stop Iran from reaching its stated goal of…

It appears that we have sent a signal that America is weak, America is in decline.

When the federal government controls your health care, they literally control life and death.

This egregious system that will be ultimately known as death care must be defeated.

We're trying to protect the lives and the health care of these wonderful veterans who did for us.

I thank the gentleman from Texas, Judge Ted Poe, because what we are fighting is to make ObamaCare equal for all Americans. I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Holding). Members are reminded to address their…

Representative Tom Reed has gone to the heart of this problem, which is the lack of fairness in ObamaCare. And speaking to that is Representative Ted Poe of the great State of Texas. After myself, my mother's favorite Member of Congress is…

Thank you, Representative Tipton. From the Rocky Mountains all the way to the great State of New York, I yield to Mr. Tom Reed, a fabulous Member of Congress from New York's 22nd Congressional District.

I thank Mr. Bentivolio. I yield now to Scott Tipton from Colorado's Third Congressional District, a fabulous Member of Congress.

I thank Randy Weber from Texas. Texans have stood up on this issue, and they've been fighting from the very beginning. But there's also another Member, who's a new Member of Congress, Mr. Kerry Bentivolio. Kerry Bentivolio, from Michigan's…

I am extremely grateful to Representative Culberson. I know his daughter, Caroline, is the most precious part of his life, as our daughter, Caroline, is as well. And as a gentleman from Texas, I know it's his daughter that he's most…

Thank you, Representative LaMalfa, for all of your hard work on defunding and delaying ObamaCare. We have next with us Mr. Culberson from Texas' Seventh Congressional District, who has been tireless, especially in the area of keeping…

I thank the gentleman. We have with us the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, Mr. Steve Scalise, from the great State of Louisiana.

I thank the gentleman from Texas' 25th District, Mr. Williams. We have, also, Mr. Rothfus from Pennsylvania's 12th. Mr. Rothfus, thank you for joining us today.

I thank the gentleman from Montana. We also have Roger Williams from Texas' 25th Congressional District.

I thank the gentleman from Florida. I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey, Mr. Scott Garrett. He is another tireless stalwart that, during the time when we were trying to fight, said, This is what's going to happen, is exactly what…
