Charles Boustany: “We will now begin our hearing on the tax-related provisions in the President's health care law.”

We are seeing the costs going up. And of course what the President is proposing is higher taxpayer liability.

AMR supports and urges the Committee to consider H.R. 4689, 'The Timely Payment for Veterans' Emergency Care Act' sponsored by Congressman Boustany.

This is an absolutely essential amendment because we need more transparency about methods and how these assumptions are built into what they are proposing. Mr. Chairman, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Loudermilk).

I am pleased to yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Roe), who is the chairman of the Physicians Caucus.
