We are going to wrap this one up. I see the gentleman from Kentucky is here and he will probably carry on with health insurance. Maybe a couple of us will be asked to join him. We have really today focused on a broad range of issues: The patients' bill of rights; the way in which the repeal would harm individuals who have preexisting conditions; young children from infancy; the 23- to 26-year-old coverage. We also discussed a little bit about how this affects business and, of course, we went into some detail about senior citizens. All of these are critically important issues. We will be discussing these in the days ahead. I do hope the American public will really pay attention, because this next week, particularly as we move towards Wednesday, is going to be absolutely critical to the American people. It's a question about will all of us in America be able to get health care coverage that is affordable and provides us with the opportunity to have the health care that we need. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
