Mr. Speaker, employers need more than a 1-year delay of ObamaCare's economic train wreck. The President's flawed legislation must be repealed in its entirety. ObamaCare is already increasing health care costs, depressing hiring, and destroying full-time work. Waiting a year to implement some of its confusing, wrongheaded policies will not stop the damage or provide job creators with the certainty they need to figure out whether they can afford to keep their employees. That will come only when ObamaCare is replaced by competitive, patient-centered health care reforms. The American people and the American economy deserve better than excuses for unworkable laws. They deserve health care policies that are transparent, responsive, and focused on them. This week, House Republicans will take action to protect every American--individuals, families, and those who manage or work with businesses--from the President's costly broken law. If the employer mandate is being delayed, so should the individual mandate. It's basic fairness. It's fairness for all. ____________________
