Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Madam Speaker, I have been a Member of this body for 2 weeks and 2 days, and I could not be prouder to be on the House floor today in support of the chairman's resolution. For the entire last year in my district we have been focused on one thing and one thing only, since March of 2010, and that is the repeal of the President's health care bill. You know, before March of 2010 my district cared about health care reform. We talked about tort reform, we talked about putting patients back in charge of decisions. We talked about ending the tax preference that businesses get so that we can purchase insurance on our own and own those policies as we do our other insurance policies. But the moment this bill was signed into law, the moment the President's bill was signed into law that discussion stopped and the repeal discussion began. And with the repeal yesterday, we now begin anew the discussion of how properly to reform the system. And I am anxious to have that discussion.
