Madam Chairman, I yield myself such time as I may consume. I hope everybody's been listening to this. What has become clear is this: the Republicans have a 3-act play. First, repeal IPAB; next, repeal the rest of health care reform; and…

Madam President, in a few minutes, we are going to vote on whether we should end debate on a House bill which carries the false label of a jobs bill--a bill which cries out for debate and amendment. If we continue down this track, we will…

I yield myself the balance of my time. Look, the Supreme Court will be hearing the case about the individual mandate next week, and I don't think we want to argue this now. We don't have any judges here. But let me say, on the individual…

I yield myself an additional 30 seconds. Look, we need to address it, but destroying Medicare is not the way to address it. That's what you do. You destroy it. You destroy it when you say you're saving it. I reserve the balance of my time.

I yield myself an additional 1 minute. Look, I respect that. But the primary fact, the basic fact is that the Affordable Care Act addresses this issue more effectively than has been addressed before. There is more money for primary care…

I yield myself 1 minute. The present system doesn't have enough primary care. I know from my own experience that there's a lack of family physicians and primary care physicians. The Affordable Care Act strengthens that program, will…

No. What the Republicans would do would be to send the decisions already there in large measure to insurance companies. I reserve the balance of my time.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. We're talking about a board whose operations trigger, according to CBO, 10 years from now. I just want to say to those who say it's unaccountable: Every one of their recommendations will come…

It is now my privilege to yield 3 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Clay).

Let me just say it is strange to say you save something by destroying it. That is 1984 in 2012. I now yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from New Jersey. (Mr. ANDREWS asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)

It's curious. You're talking about, according to CBO, a board whose operation would be triggered in 2022. You come here and scare people. It doesn't work. You talk about rationing. You're talking about an operation 10 years from now. Right…

I now yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Texas, a member of our committee, Mr. Doggett.

I yield 4 minutes to a member of our Ways and Means Committee, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Kind).

Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts for his remarks in support of the Violence Against Women Act. I believe the bill will be before us shortly. We will count on Senator Brown's vote. So we look forward to…

Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to a public servant, a social worker, and a tenacious advocate for vulnerable Americans. I rise today to honor a trailblazer and a mentor for me and countless others. I rise today to honor an…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I appreciate his leadership for helping us honor what our Founders put forth in our founding documents, which is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And that is exactly what the Affordable Care…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in opposition to this legislation. Whether or not you're a fan of the IPAB, I strongly urge you to oppose the bill. This bill is not about IPAB. This bill is nothing more than a political…

Thank you very much, Mr. Conyers, former chair of the Judiciary Committee, ranking member, and a gentleman who has provided superb leadership in opposition to H.R. 5. Mr. Chairman, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 5, poorly titled…
