Mr. Speaker, I appreciate Dr. Babin's comments. He is very astute. He has been around health care. You know how this thing is not working and the strain it has put on people in your district, as it has in mine, and people around the country. I am relieved that Congress is moving forward on legislation to right these wrongs. It feels so good to be a Member of Congress today to live up to a campaign promise that everyone in the majority in the House, Senate, and executive branch says: We are going to fix this; trust us. I have the complete confidence in that. I look forward to engaging with my colleagues. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Washington (Mr. Newhouse). He is a farmer, small-business man, and good conservative who understands the importance of keeping government out of our healthcare system. Our country's farmers have been hit hard, just as much as others, by ObamaCare. Congressman Newhouse is, no doubt, well aware of these issues.
