Exactly. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Tonko mentioned asthma. We Democrats campaigned on a better deal for the people, which I just happened to put up here: A better deal for the people. We talked about healthcare. Asthma is a preexisting condition. We have a challenge to deal with the Affordable Care Act and the Republican attempt to reinstitute insurance companies being able to discriminate based upon preexisting conditions. All of these things will tie back: job creation, new technologies, research, healthcare. All of this, in one way or another, comes back to this question of climate change. So we need to address it.
