“Mr. Speaker, I want to acknowledge and express my appreciation for the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Norwood), the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Ganske), the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Dingell), the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone), and all the others that have worked on this bill, that have worked so hard to see that the American people get the kind of health care that they are paying for. A majority of the Members of the House voted for the Norwood-Dingell bill. Fifty-two Republicans voted for this bill. If we are not going to conference this bill now, when are we going to conference it? Mr. Speaker, it is time that we move forward with the legislation that the American people have said they want, that we move forward with the legislation that the House has said it wants, in a bipartisan way. It is time that we deal with this issue and take the politics out of it. This is a good bill. It is time for us to do this for the American people. I urge every Member to vote for this resolution and bring this issue to conference.”
