Let me simply say that, simply put, at $768 per enrollee, the navigator program is a waste of taxpayer resources.

Those are the issues that are facing this country and a better use of this money. Madam Chair, I urge a ``yes'' vote on the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Arkansas (Mr. Hill). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
