We have officially entered la-la land, where the President thinks that by the mere power of his own voice he can turn back time by simply announcing that he will no longer enforce provisions within his own law. Think about that. The answer to fixing this law is for him to announce that they won't enforce the law. That tells you how desperate they are. His announcement today will only make things worse, and it is the American people who will continue to pay. I, like everyone who has spoken on the floor this afternoon, have many examples of people who are being hurt today because of provisions of ObamaCare. Amanda from Bountiful, Utah, within my district, has seen her family's deductibles and the rate they will pay double. Sundee from southern Utah has had her family's health plan entirely canceled. As small business owners, they are scrambling now to try to find something, some way in which they can maintain insurance for their family. President Obama repeatedly promised that if you have health insurance, you can keep it. That promise has not been fulfilled. We call upon him to do that today. ____________________

I thank Mr. Owens, my friend, for organizing this event and for his interest in something that I think every American shares. I have a young family. I have six kids. Many of them are just young couples. They are starting their careers…
