Patricia Schroeder: “I just wanted to say that my point was, No. 1, Members did not know that the House had yielded to the Senate on this…”

On the recordApril 3, 1995
I just wanted to say that my point was, No. 1, Members did not know that the House had yielded to the Senate on this issue when this bill came to the floor. This was portrayed as a bill in which we were trying to help people get their tax credit back for health care. That is what we were told about. We were told this was done away with across the board. We were not told there was one special little loophole, oops. Now, I do not know if the press report is correct or not, but it says it was verified by six Republican staffers. So that is quite a few. Maybe they were all wrong. I do not know. I am not on the committee. But as a Member of this House, I resent it when we have a conference report come back with a goodie in it and we are not told about it.

I must say, for me this is a very sad day, because if my colleagues really believe we need the best government money can buy, they must be thrilled. Let me put this in some kind of context. My average campaign contribution when I first got…
