I would suggest coming to Fort Knox, Kentucky. It is a very beautiful place.

I appreciate the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in support of the legislation to reauthorize the Prescription Drug and Medical Device User Fee Act and authorize new user fee programs for generic drugs and biosimilars. The legislation…

The existing infrastructure for tracking these casualties is not sufficient to assess the long-term prognosis of G.U. trauma injuries.

The recommended action plan for research is that the military form interservice and interagency relationships to facilitate aggressive, innovative and relevant translational and outcomes-based clinical research.

Urotrauma injury is not part of the standards of pre-deployment training for U.S. military surgeons and nurses.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in support of H.R. 5, legislation to repeal the IPAB and make critical reforms to our medical liability system. The IPAB was created in the health care law as a way to contain growing costs…

it says in the current law that you cannot use the grant money intended to design or influence in any manner a Member of Congress.

the current law, the way I read it, now, that is going forward, obviously it is not enacted because it is a proposed budget.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise today in support of H.R. 1173, to repeal the CLASS Act established in the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act. The CLASS Act was unsustainable and unworkable from the time it was enacted. Even…

I appreciate your service Senator D'Amato.

The bipartisan position, the one that both parties working together have put forward, is to support this; and we've had different comments about the Republicans are doing this or that. But the truth of the matter is this is a bipartisan…

I was absent today in order to attend my daughter's high school graduation. As a result, I missed three votes on Friday, June 3, 2011. Had I been present, I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall vote 410 and 411, and ``nay'' on rollcall…

As we began the debate about Medicare just a minute ago, we knew last week when we left to go home to work in our districts that Medicare's actuary said it is going to go bankrupt in 2024. This side of the aisle has offered a plan to make…

The amendment violates clause 10 of rule XXI of the rules of the House because it has the net effect of increasing mandatory spending. The Acting CHAIR. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point of order?

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, I rise today in support of H.R. 1216. The health care bill that was signed into law last year spent over a trillion dollars and empowered Federal bureaucrats more than it did the…

First there were a number of amendments, I think over 100 amendments, to the health care bill that were offered by the Republicans. An alternative was offered by the Republicans as voted on as we went forward. Block grants, several…

I insist on my point of order. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Kentucky may state his point of order.

I want to point out again, the mandatory spending was not in the House version of the health care bill that was passed. Teaching health centers were treated exactly like general pediatric and primary care physicians are in hospital…

First, I want to point out the list that was read of teaching health centers. The text of the bill is very clear: that we only rescind unobligated funding. If the funding has been obligated, then it continues to move forward. So, as to the…

Again, Mr. Chairman, it is important that we have an adequate supply of primary care physicians, and it is important public policy for this country. It is important that we also have oversight and control over the budget in the way the…

I reserve a point of order against the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. A point of order is reserved. The gentleman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes.

This amendment is very similar to the previous amendment we discussed, so I will be brief. One, as I said before, it is difficult for the Government Accountability Office--almost impossible for them--to perform this study moving forward…

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue. It is important.

It just seemed that is where a lot of the prescriptions were coming, not everyone.

What is fair for the patient in term of access to healthcare? I mean, that is the issue that we have.
