Thank you, Congressman Walberg. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank you for allowing my colleagues and I to speak to the American people about the destructive provisions of the President's health care law, the constant stream of delays that have come from the President's administration, the costly effect it will have on folks all over the country, and the rocky implementation it has experienced so far. I believe we have made it clear that this law is simply not ready to meet the needs of the American people. It is unfair to punish regular folks while giving preferential treatment to big businesses, unions, and Members of Congress. We hope our Democrat colleagues will work with us to provide fairness for all and say ``no'' to special treatment. I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
