In the State of Georgia, my State has been so concerned about the risk on information that they have made it a requirement that every navigator have a criminal background check.

Would you object to a statute that would require them to have background checks?

The navigators were put in to be the connection to the American people to the Obamacare law.

Madam President, we get to do a lot as Members of the Senate on the floor of this great body. We make great speeches and we have great debates. Periodically, from time to time, we pay tribute to someone in our State who has done great work…

Madam President, I ask unanimous consent to address the Senate as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Honoring Senior Pastor Jasper W. Williams, Jr.

My point in this is when we passed the Affordable Care Act, it precluded insurance agents from being navigators.

We need to address that, and we need to make sure that the unintended consequence of requiring so much coverage is not running people out of coverage rather than providing the coverage they need.

Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize an everyday hero, a young constituent of mine who has set an example we would all do well to follow. Mary Patricia Hector, a 15-year-old from Lithonia, Georgia, refused to sit idly by while children across…

I appreciate the chairman yielding. This Republican majority was working in a bipartisan manner, giving us the ability to work like this. These are bipartisan pieces that we understand. So I did promise, and I am good to my word. I yield…

Thank you, I appreciate that. Mr. Speaker, it is just an honor to be here tonight, for in 2 weeks, Americans across this great Nation will pause to remember, to honor, and to commemorate the men and women who have served the cause of…

Well, I think as we go back here and if we really look at this--and you took the opportunity to discuss immigration and other things--I have to simply back up my chairman and go back to when the Democrats had the entire floor, they had…

I will yield at the end. I rise in support of the rule and the underlying bills, especially H.R. 2374. You know, I rise because we must continue to look at this regulatory beast. It is strangling, really, what I feel American business and…

Mr. Speaker, as I come here today, one of the things that I have been listening to--and my friend from across the aisle, from Colorado, we talk about things and substantive issues. I have been in three committee hearings this morning, and…

You've had White House tweet by Valerie Jarrett saying that Obamacare doesn't cost anybody their insurance. That's just plain not true.

I associate myself with all of the remarks by Senator Hirono with regard to her bill on emergency medical services. I think it is a great bill.

Sebelius' dishonesty and testimony this morning exceeds anything President Nixon was accused of. The Obama team cannot tell the truth and survive.

Now it's either true or it's not true. And you can obfuscate and use big words but the fact is the president of the United States knowingly, I mean, if he'd gone to the country and said look, about 16 million of you are going to lose your…

There is no credibility on that side of the aisle when it comes to the financial stability of this country.
