this ought to be known as the Harry Potter invisibility cloak amendment. Anyone who has read ``Harry Potter'' knows he had this invisibility cloak he put over himself and people couldn't see him. They have tried 36 separate times to get rid of the Affordable Care Act. They can't do that, so now they want to put an invisibility cloak over it. The Roberts amendment says we can't tell people, for example, that their kids can stay on their policy until they are 26; we can't tell people that now they can get coverage even though they have a preexisting condition; we can't tell people they can go on the exchange starting this October, where they can get good health care. Let's vote down the Harry Potter invisibility cloak amendment. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
