I just want to recap quickly how we got here. ObamaCare was passed on a partisan basis through the House and the Senate, signed into law, and then it went forward. It created a false premise, and the false promise that didn't come to fruition was that people were going to be able to keep their physicians, that premiums were going to go down, and it wasn't going to add to the deficit. We all know now that was nonsense. So what did the American public do? They said, ``We are going to change the House of Representatives.'' So they elected a Republican majority in the House to take out ObamaCare. What did they do next when they found an obstacle in the United States Senate? They changed the disposition of the United States Senate. Now, there are some people that say today, ``Oh, this is a complete waste of time.'' No, it is not, Mr. Speaker. This is not a waste of time. This is a demonstration to the American public that there is now one office that stands between them and the repeal of ObamaCare. There is one office that stands between them and the continued shameful subsidy of Planned Parenthood. We have got an opportunity to change that office in November. Mr. Speaker, I urge us to continue that momentum and to vote with Mr. Tom Price of Georgia on this bill.
