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…

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

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…

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…

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

Well, clearly the majority leadership thinks that the American people are so stupid that if you have a rule that says, you know what, if you vote for the rule, then the bill automatically is deemed passed. I just don't know anybody in the…

Madam Speaker, 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…

Madam Speaker, after the Cornhusker kickback, the Louisiana purchase, the Gator aid, the labor union bailout, the sweetheart deals for the pharmaceutical companies, now we're told that the Democrats are simply going to deem the Senate bill…

Madam Speaker, we have all seen the television program ``Deal or No Deal'' where you look at this case and you decide whether you want that case or you don't want the case and take the deal or not take the deal. Well, that's what we have…

Madam Speaker, I think most of you all know that the movie ``Alice in Wonderland'' opened in a theater near you just this last week. It's in three dimensions. And it obviously has inspired our Democratic friends in an effort to explain…

Madam Speaker, yesterday, The New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times each featured a news story about President Obama's trip to Missouri to promote his health care plan. Combined, the three articles feature 16 quotes…

Madam Speaker, yesterday an armed Mexican military helicopter was spotted and photographed over a residential area a mile inside the territorial boundary of the United States. Texas Sheriff Sigi Gonzalez of Zapata County said the Mexican…

Mr. Speaker, I very much appreciate this opportunity to speak here on the floor. The topic again will be health care because, even though most of Americans are more concerned about the economy, as am I, and jobs, because the President…

I thank the gentleman for the question. It's a great question because we know when Scott Brown was elected, he said, I'm the 41st vote against this. There are not 60 votes to do what they are saying, which as you're pointing out, the…

That is such a great point. I was talking with some of my constituents this past weekend who are scared to death this thing is going to pass. Some of them work for lower wages, and they are on their spouse's insurance with their employer…

A judge, and was briefly chief justice of an intermediary court filling an unexpired term. And that is my understanding. But I also know the gentleman from California was the highest ranking legal officer in the State of California and…

I appreciate the comments of the gentlelady, Ms. Foxx. They were really on target. Thank you so much. When she mentions banana republics, I actually had the experience in 1973 of being an exchange student to the Soviet Union for a summer…

We have a friend from Georgia, Mr. Westmoreland. Do you have anything to add on that point?
