“It is a privilege to be able to stand in the greatest deliberative body in the world and in the well of the House of Representatives. It is especially poignant that we are here today as Members of this body, because we are looking at an historic shift in United States history. Next week, Mr. Speaker, not one American will escape the new rules and regulatory burden of ObamaCare. We are going to face something that's unprecedented in the history of the country, and we already know what some of those results will be. We have a law that's absolutely unaffordable. Our President told us that we had to hurry, hurry, hurry--not even take time to read the bill--because we were going to be saving $2,500 per American household if we passed this bill. Mr. President, we are already told that the average increase is about $3,000 per household--well over a $5,000 difference from what you promised us. It's unaffordable, Mr. President. Now we also know it's completely unworkable. How do we know that? Because, Mr. President, we already know that you have granted 19 different waivers, blockages, repeals of ObamaCare. Even your administration--Mr. Speaker, we would say to the President--has admitted it's completely unworkable. And it's unfair. I think this is what galls the American people more than anything. How do we know it's unfair?…”
