I stand before you today not only as a Member of Congress, but as a concerned business owner angered by the fact that ObamaCare may be putting my companies at financial risk. Currently, those businesses employ over 120 people in the State of Oklahoma. Because of the size of these companies, when ObamaCare is fully implemented, it will mean an immediate cost of over $200,000 to that business. I ran for Congress because I got fed up with the Federal Government becoming my biggest threat. The President says he wants to grow the economy and encourage job creation, but in reality he is punishing those who are trying to thrive. As a business owner, you are penalized $100,000 for hiring that 50th employee. ObamaCare is the number one threat to businesses in Oklahoma and across this country. This week we'll vote to repeal this law, along with its harmful new mandates and tax hikes. For the sake of this country's job creators, we must repeal ObamaCare. I urge my colleagues to join me and America in putting America back in business. ____________________
