Obamacare Delays Employer Mandate

Floor Speech

Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Three and a half years and hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars later, this administration still hasn't figured out how to implement their healthcare law. What more proof do they need?

More now than ever, it's clear that this law is too complicated, too expensive, and worst, failing American families.

Last week, the Obama administration announced they would no longer require businesses to offer health insurance to workers next year, nor require States to verify residents' income before signing them up for insurance.

While these actions provide much-needed relief to our job creators, who have been forced to shrink paychecks and freeze hiring, it still requires individuals and families to obtain insurance. It also opens the door to more waste, fraud, and abuse of precious taxpayer dollars.

American families want, need, and deserve patient-centered care, not the government-knows-best healthcare system.

It's time to repeal and shred this broken law into ribbons. Let's start over with real, commonsense reform before it's too late.
