I can't imagine why Harry Reid and the Senate would shut down all these things for a health care bill called ObamaCare which is raising the cost of medicine and decreasing access to it. I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Virginia…

Reclaiming my time, I would only say this. It's hard to figure out what the United States is doing at all under Harry Reid's leadership.
