Mr. Speaker, for the past 20 years, as a practicing lawyer and business owner, i have seen firsthand how companies have tried to grow and create more jobs, but they simply cant due to the strangling grip of obamacares employer mandate. Small businesses tell a story of how their current plan was canceled and how they were forced by obamacare into a health plan that covers less with higher copays and higher deductibles, along with unsustainable increases in premiums. Simply stated obamacare is crushing Small Business across this great country. And despite the urgency of the crisis, the president has decided to dig himself in and promised to veto any commonsense reforms such as removing this employer mandate. So if the white house has decided not to collaborate with congress to ease the burdens on families and businesses, then the only path we have is full repeal. Along with that mr. Speaker, we need to move forward and develop Commonsense Health care reform that not only respects familie
