I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, it is interesting to hear as we go through this tonight about just how important and how great a piece of legislation this is. I've got to tell you, there is an old saying out there: ``Of…

I rise this morning to speak about an issue that is of great concern to my constituents back home in Pennsylvania, and it's the matter of the implementation of the President's Affordable Care Act, the implementation which some members of…

In 2010, this body was told by Speaker Pelosi that it needed to pass the bill so the American people could know what's in it. Well, Madam Speaker, if the American people would have known of the toxic consequences that ObamaCare would have…

On Monday, in two separate forums, I met with members of the Lancaster County and the Chester County Chambers of Commerce, representing dozens of businesses and municipalities across my district, about the implementation of the Affordable…

The health care bill, indeed, has some good things in it: no lifetime cap, kids on their parents policy, people can't be denied, and some prevention. But good intentions do not guarantee good results. Because of the guarantee of this bill…

I ask unanimous consent to speak as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. NLRB

I rise to speak about the National Labor Relations Board. This is a board and a set of issues we are going to be debating and have begun to debate recently. It will be with us for a while, and it is an important debate we are having. As…

I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, may I inquire as to how much time we have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Messer). The gentleman has 4 minutes remaining.

So we do know that these costs are going to continue to climb for many people, even though people in the administration have told us they're not quite sure yet what is going to go on. We know these costs are going to continue. Let me point…

I thank the gentleman for the question. Look at it this way: let's take a young man who is suddenly going to see his rates go through the roof. He's healthy. In the past, that gentleman in his 20s may have said, you know, I'm going to buy…
