Did they do anything about that? Yes, they did. They passed the bill, but they didn't pay for it. And now the CBO says that's going to add $8 trillion to our debt. {time} 1100 So while the Republicans say they've been concerned about solving America's health care problems, they really haven't done anything about it. And the one thing that sticks with me throughout this entire debate, 1 year long, nobody on the Republican side has ever said in any discussion that they had any interest in insuring the uninsured. Those 47 million people, many of whom are going bankrupt, some of whom are dying, 18,000 a year are dying, almost a million a year are going bankrupt, did they say anything about insuring the uninsured? Not a word. So we're committed to providing the health care system America needs, wants, and demands. We're going to do it this weekend. And as I said before, this will be the proudest vote I ever cast on the floor of the House of Representatives.
