The unilateral decision by this administration to delay certain provisions of Federal legislation undermines the very rule of law. If President Obama can pick and choose what he wants to enforce within ObamaCare, what prevents him from doing the same with other legislation? That is my concern. And while this administration is determined that their signature piece of legislation is too complicated for businesses, the individual mandate still stands. Businesses get a break, but individuals get no relief from the burdens of this law. Why do hardworking individuals not deserve relief from the hardships of the Affordable Care Act? If the President and his allies in Congress stand by their decision to delay one mandate, is it not fair to delay the other? Realistically, a permanent delay through the full repeal of ObamaCare and its mandates is the only workable solution. Don't Americans deserve equality under the law and fairness for all? Mr. McDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I inquire as to whether the gentleman from Georgia is prepared to close.
