Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I thank the gentleman for his kind comments about me. I think that there are a couple of important points to be made. And that is that CBO estimates that insurers will respond to this bill by raising premiums by less than 0.1 percent. What CBO does not score are the savings from providing this needed medical care because that medical care goes on and on and on. And the costs to families are exorbitant. As I said earlier today, I think this is a very good bill. I acknowledge all the advocates from all over the country that worked so hard to bring us to this moment. Madam Speaker, I look forward to the vote today on this bill that has been with us since 2020, and I yield back the balance of my time.
