I talk to a lot of doctors. I have been in town halls with the Senator at the different hospitals. The hospitals are concerned that if everybody goes on Medicaid they will go out of business. Many hospitals' bottom line is driven by--they…
One of the questions that should not only be asked of the Senator but should be asked of the President: Why doesn't the President voluntarily take ObamaCare? It is his baby, and if he loves it so much, why doesn't the President take it? He…
There has been some discussion. The Senator from Kansas recently put this question forward, how we would fix ObamaCare if we were allowed to. I think there are two parts to that. The first part of the question is, will we be allowed to…
Since we are making it clear, the Republican message and alternative here is not to shut down the government; our desire is to have no ObamaCare. We desire not to have it. We think he went in the wrong direction. But we don't control the…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that reading of the amendment be dispensed with. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. The amendment is as follows: (Purpose: To redirect certain foreign assistance to…
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to call up amendment No. 1739. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk will report the amendment. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator…
Not now. The thing is, we have to understand what this is about. We have to understand this is about a temporary halting of buying weapons. People say: Well, if we don't give them planes, we don't pay them to buy our planes, they will…
