Well, I appreciate that very much. I would like to follow up on that with something that our friend across the aisle said before us tonight. He said that when this bill passes, we'll have a lot to run on, and I agree. And I think they'll…

Why would you want to go to any other country? So who could blame the Newfoundland prime minister when he had a heart problem, for saying, I love you, Canada, you're my country, I love you and I am totally devoted, but I am flying to the…

If you look at page 122, the exact point is made that you are making. It says that there is at least one such health care plan that provides coverage of services described in clauses i and ii of subparagraph (b). You look at subparagraph…

I appreciate my friend from Iowa so much, and I appreciate the wonderful points you are making. I was here just out off the Chamber for the whole discussion by our colleagues across the aisle. {time} 2145 I always appreciate when people…

And I certainly appreciate the question, because we just happen to have a chart here. And this is a chart, as it says, government-run care means lower survival rates for cancer. Now, we have been told by friends across the aisle, well, but…

This bill is based on so many fictions, it should not be passed. One is that we're going to do a rule and then that is going to be self-perpetuating. And that's going to pass the bill. That's a fiction. It ought to be an up-or-down vote on…

Maybe 904 is one of several reasons AARP said, you know what, this could be all right. We could get millions and millions of dollars in new insurance sales. {time} 2030 But did you see that the pharmaceutical industry says they like this…

I appreciate the gentleman yielding. If you look at page 1,957, along the same lines of what kind of deals that are in this bill, this has to do with health savings accounts. We know that there are millions and millions of dollars in…

I just appreciate all the work you've done. There are several bills that have been proposed by Republicans.

Well, it seems like maybe they do sell some supplemental medical insurance. So by golly----

Medicare will be expanded. Medicaid will be expanded to allow more people to be insured. Our children will have more health insurance. It will be a major change for America--a positive change. It is interesting that every time America…

Here are 10 reasons why the administration's health bill makes no sense according to Investor's Business Daily. Number one, the people don't want it. In fact, the majority of Americans are opposed to it. Two, doctors don't want it. Three…

I thank the Speaker for the recognition. Well, here we are, Tuesday night, Washington, D.C., 20 minutes until eight o'clock in the evening. What a day we have had here in the Capitol. Mr. Speaker, many of your constituents and my…

That's my understanding from the reports that have been done by Heritage and other groups. But interestingly, if Massachusetts wants to enact a mandate, they are a State. And if their residents say, Okay, we are happy with you, Governor…

If the gentleman will recall in May and June of this year, six groups met down at the White House. It was a great photo-op. My AMA was there. The Hospital Association was there; PhRMA showed up; AdvaMed, the people who make medical…

Well, we don't know because the White House refuses to provide us with any information, even though they've been asked nicely. They were asked more forcefully with the resolution of inquiry in our committee. Chairman Waxman and Ranking…
