Republican congressional candidate Carlos Curbelo spoke at this year'sConservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, highlighting how his experiences as an immigrant from Cuba have shaped his political beliefs and criticizing Barack Obama's signature health-care law.

Curbelo was named a "Top 10 Conservative Under 40 at the American Conservative Unions annual conference.

"Before, [the Democrats] used to trap people in welfare," said Curbelo. "Today, they trap people in Obamacare. Under this law, workers are discouraged from seeking the jobs that they need and employers are encouraged to suppress employee hours. And what does that do? It denies the people that need jobs and opportunity the most to become better.

"Obamacare is just the most recent example of the left's misguided policies that close the path of upward social mobility for those that have the desire to grow and achieve more for themselves and for their families."
