On the recordDecember 1, 2011
I thank the gentleman, Dr. Gosar. I'm just going to make a couple of closing comments; and in the few moments we have left, I'm going to allow some of our other physicians to give closing comments. One of the important things we have learned here tonight is under ObamaCare, $575 billion was cut out of Medicare. Medicare is going broke, becoming insolvent, according to the actuary in 8 years. The Republicans passed a budget earlier this year that would have fixed that for good. And the Democrats have yet to even talk about it or even acknowledge that it exists. But they do know it. So I want to be sure that we leave here tonight with an understanding of the seriousness of the challenges that we have before us. Now I would like to recognize Dr. Roe for some parting comments.
