Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from New York for yielding. I rise today in opposition to this bill, the so-called Save American Workers Act, and to speak in support of working men and women of this great country. I am here today and…

The answer to the problems is not to decimate the Affordable Health Care Act.

We are better than that, to let insurance companies do that to us.

We needed the system to work. Let me say it again, we needed the system to work.

That is what the Affordable Health Care Act is all about.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 6 minutes to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Sessions), the chairman of the Rules Committee.

Mr. Speaker, House Resolution 530 provides for consideration of a critical piece of legislation passed out of the Ways and Means Committee designed to address a critical flaw in the Affordable Care Act, which is causing workers to lose…

Mr. Speaker, by direction of the Committee on Rules, I call up House Resolution 530 and ask for its immediate consideration. The Clerk read the resolution, as follows: H. Res. 530 Resolved, That upon adoption of this resolution it shall be…

Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, to the issue of jobs created in the last 5 years, let me point out that the State of Texas has been responsible for the creation of about one-third of those jobs. It is our…

Mr. President, I can still remember my first job as though it was yesterday. I worked as a busboy at a local family restaurant during our small-town fair. While that job only lasted a few days, I still remember how incredibly proud I was…
