My understanding is that a lot of the companies, insurers that have been offering plans in the individual market, the ones who are sending out these notices are actually repositioning themselves in the health insurance exchange to offer…

So this notion that people are being turned away from an affordable product that provides good, quality care is preposterous.

Mr. Speaker, the White House Web site claims: If you like your plan, you can keep it, and you don't have to change a thing due to the health care law. Well, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Maryland said that 76,000 customers in Maryland will…

Mr. President, I rise to recognize the 25th anniversary of the National Center for Biotechnology Information--NCBI--part of the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health, America's world-renowned research…

Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to be removed as a cosponsor of H.J. Res. 62. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Poe of Texas). Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Maryland? There was no objection. ____________________

Mr. Chairman, this is how Congress ought to work with one another, all 435 of us. I don't mean that 435 are going to vote for the bill, but we have worked together on this bill. And I want to congratulate the chairman, Mr. Shuster, whose…

I thank the gentleman for his comments. Mr. Speaker, we have two bills: the Senate bill, which was passed some 6 months ago, and the House bill, which was passed about 6 months ago. We have been hoping to go to conference during those past…
