Mr. President, I rise today to discuss the Health Care Capital Access Reauthorization Act. This legislation will allow Critical Access Hospitals, CAHs, to continue to access the Federal Housing Administration's, FHA, 242 program. There are…

This truly is a bipartisan effort. I think that's a good thing.

I would never propose anything that would harm----
