Charles Boustany: “Welcome to this morning's hearing on public charities.”

Less choice, less information, less control. This is disastrous for health care.

I have no other Members wishing to speak on the bill, and I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time.

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

The trend lines in all these areas are very disturbing, in my mind, as a physician who has been around health care for quite a long time.
