I discuss this bill as a doctor who has been treating the uninsured for 20 years. Now, opponents of repeal argue that this gives Americans insurance, but what in truth it often gives is Medicaid. Now, Medicaid is a Federal-State program…

I thank the gentleman from Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, repealing ObamaCare is an imperative for four reasons. First, while it increases the numbers under coverage, it will ultimately sharply reduce access to care. Like Canada and Britain…

I thank my friend from California. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of House Resolution 32. Last week, in an act of cowardly violence, our friend and colleague, Gabby Giffords, was gunned down at a public event intended to give her…

It is with a heavy heart today that I join my colleagues in paying respects to the victims of the senseless tragedy that took place last weekend in Arizona. I extend my prayers to the families of those who lost their lives, to the wounded…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, the outpouring of support from every corner of western New York for the victims of the attack in Tucson has been overwhelming and inspiring. It is on behalf of western New York that I…

I'm so pleased to join you today and to talk about health care. And I feel very personally about health care, as somebody who went for a long time without any health care coverage and worried like Americans do all across this country. They…

Thank you for yielding, Mr. Yarmuth. You know, as I listened to this discussion, I thought, I wonder what taxpayers are thinking about with this discussion. I wonder about those taxpayers who go to work every day but who, through no fault…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. And it occurred to me as we heard this discussion--and thank you to Mr. Courtney for raising these issues with us, Mr. Speaker. Because it occurred to me that while we should be spending our time focused…

I thank the gentleman. I am so pleased to be here again. I have been here in the House on this floor for the last hour and a half because I feel passionately, as we all do, about health care. There is not one among us, either personally…

In fact, it's exactly the opposite of the government being the servant. It's the government being the oppressor. And as I mentioned, 12,000 jobs have already been lost in south Louisiana alone. And these aren't my numbers; this is the…

Section 2: ``The Congress shall assemble at least once in every year, and such meeting shall began at noon on the third day of January, unless they shall by law appoint a different day.'' Section 3: ``If, at the time fixed for the…

I want to thank my friend from up the Mississippi River in Missouri, Madam Speaker, for yielding to me and talking about this important issue, because there seems to be a lot of energy as we are talking about energy in this House. I think…

``Each House shall keep a Journal of its proceedings and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment require secrecy; and the yeas and nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the…

Section 2: ``This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within 7 years from the date of its submission to the States…

``But the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers as they think proper, and the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.''

Mr. President, I too am opposing the ratification of this New START treaty because I think it makes us less secure, not more secure, as a nation. Of course, that has to be the ultimate test. A toughly negotiated, balanced treaty with…

I thank the gentleman for yielding time to me. Mr. Chairman, indeed, this is a sad state of affairs in which we find ourselves and having to deal with this in the waning days of the 111th Congress. In just a mere 16 days, a massive tax…

I thank the gentleman from Michigan for yielding. Mr. Chairman, there are a number of things that have been talked about here that I think need to be addressed. One that I want to address point blank is this concept, this myth, that…
