Mr. Speaker, I think my perspective might be a little bit different. In fact, when my colleague was speaking about physicians, I was sitting here thinking I am a physician. And not only am I a physician, but I have actually been working to…

In my State, the first 3 years we are responsible for these additional costs is going to cost my State $600 million. Well, that is a savings to the taxpayer. Now it is just the State taxes that are going up instead of the Federal taxes…

I understand, and I appreciate it. When you say that we are going to give a raise for primary care physicians, that is actually not included in this in terms of the Medicaid costs, so State Medicaid costs are now going to go up.

Madam Speaker, let me get to the point here. In this bill we have the other side says there's $500 billion that's going to be taken out of Medicare without one word of explanation how they're going to do it. They're going to take it to…

Mr. Speaker, I had the great privilege of practicing medicine for 20 years in Louisiana. I was a heart surgeon. I did open heart surgery, critical lung surgery, and I took care of many patients during very difficult times in their lives…

Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Utah for yielding. And it is very interesting that those of us who came here to clean up this process are watching as the liberals that are running this Congress try to ram through a 2,407-page…

I thank the gentlewoman from North Carolina for yielding. You know, here we're talking, and this is about the only opportunity we're going to have for real debate on this because Speaker Pelosi and her liberal lieutenants have decided that…

I thank the gentlewoman. I will finish it up with this. Are you going to believe the people who have broken every other promise they have made about the bill or are you going to believe the Catholic bishops and National Right to Life who…

Those are all great. I appreciate your adding some of the things I left out. This list is getting so long of all the special deals. And the way that the Democrats are attempting to bypass the Constitution is just really unbelievable, and…

I thank the gentleman. I thank both gentlemen from Georgia for your comments and, again, your many years of experience as physicians. I would like to change the topic slightly, and that is to talk about process for a moment. Now, what I…

I thank the gentleman. Great comments. And my experience, Dr. Gingrey, is the same as yours. The teletown halls that I have done on this subject in the last 6 months started out that 85 percent of my constituents were against this. Now…

Mr. Speaker, I am going to be starting this hour on behalf of my colleagues from the GOP Doctors Caucus. Congressmen and Drs. Murphy and Gingrey are our two cochairmen. We make up a group of 10 M.D.s and 4 other professional health care…

I thank you gentlemen for joining me this evening. I thank our audience. This has been again another productive discussion about health care. I ask that everyone going forward in the next 3 days pray for us. And I yield to the gentleman.

We have got only 1 or 2 minutes remaining, and I am going to turn the remainder of this over to Dr. Gingrey.

And if you would yield back for one moment. This will be the biggest increase in abortions since Roe v. Wade. And I yield back.

Reclaiming my time. In the last few moments that we have in our discussion, which I think has been a great discussion, and once again I thank the gentlemen for joining me this evening. You know, we are in the final hours of this, it would…

Reclaiming my time. I am sure that my other colleague from Georgia has a few choice comments as well.

Reclaiming my time. And then one other deal that just slipped in on the House side is the North Dakota deal. There are carve- outs there. So the sweet deals have not stopped even though the Senate bill is complete. I understand that there…
