I thank Mr. Morelle so much. Actually, I didn't know that the gentleman had lost his daughter. That tragic illness is an example of why the Affordable Care Act is so important, because people will have coverage. There are no lifetime limits. Although your daughter was unsuccessful in the treatment, many thousands upon thousands of Americans are able to get treatment and survive cancer or some other debilitating illness. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman so much for his experience, and I thank him for being here and bringing all those years of knowledge and experience to this House and helping us fight this fight. Let me now turn to my colleague from New Jersey who often is here with me on the floor, Mr. Payne. He and I talk about a lot of different subjects. Here, we are talking about one that affects every American. I thank the gentleman for joining us. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Payne).
