No, ma'am. I am very sincere about this. I talked to the Rules Committee last night. I have talked on this floor here tonight. And for you to make these charges that I'm not sincere about this bill is absolutely incorrect. Maybe the gentlelady didn't hear me, but I have very personal interests in mental health. It is an extremely important issue to me, to my wife, to my family. And for you to say I'm not sincere about this, I am just very shocked about that. But I am sincere. This bill, the way it's written, is going to actually deny people mental health coverage. We tried to fix it last night, make it better. And those attempts were denied over and over and over again. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
