Tonight is our third time that we have hosted People's Night. This is a time for our Members to bypass outside forces and influences and talk directly to the American people. Tonight we are presenting something that has been very important, not just a topic, but something that nearly 6 years ago--or a little over 6 years ago--right here where we stand tonight was passed in an overly bipartisan manner and has burdened the American people in what is now known as ObamaCare, the Affordable Care Act.

One of the people who does that most, specifically in the area of poverty initiatives, who reaches across community lines, reaches across party lines is the gentleman from Kentucky, my good friend, Representative Andy Barr from Kentucky. I yield to the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Barr).
