And if you multiply that times the number of women who get cancer, you are talking hundreds of thousands of women just in that range there.

We were talking a moment ago about the fact there are two ways to save money in health care. One is to have the patient become a savvy consumer and make choices for himself or herself in combination with his or her doctor.

Absolutely. And again, it was only a month or so ago that the Mayo Clinic--I believe their branch in Arizona--announced that they were taking no further Medicare patients. And that's under the current pay system.

Well, if doctors and hospitals are under-reimbursed further--they're at their limit today. If the cuts go even further--and of course $500 billion is draconian by any stretch of the imagination; that's as much as the entire annual budget…

That is absolutely correct. And that is not considering Medicaid, which pays more like 30 cents on the dollar, which under this bill will increase by 30 percent. The number of people covered, that is.

Well, I will remind the gentleman that currently physicians and hospitals are being paid 80 cents on the dollar, and the mystery that seems to be out there and very few people are addressing is--and you hear the other side talking about…

I really oppose abortion for four reasons. Number one, I am a Christian. I believe that only God can give or can take away innocent life. That is within his prerogative and within his power and his only. Number two, as a physician…

Well, we learned with the stimulus bill that you didn't have to read it to pass it, so I guess maybe it just correlated with that.

We're going to have to pass this bill in order to find out what's in it. Now, we're talking about one-sixth of the entire economy here, and our Speaker has the audacity to say that we need to pass this crazy 3,000-page bill just to find…

We've heard about the Corn Husker kickback, the Louisiana Purchase, the Gatorade Carve-out for the Medicare Advantage in Florida.

What I would like to do is congratulate the World Champion New Orleans Saints on winning the franchise's first Super Bowl. The New Orleans Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts by a score of 31-17 on February 7, 2010. The Saints are an…

Having said that, we have the best health care system in the world. How do I know this? Well, just one of many empiric facts is a gentleman--I believe his name is Mr. Williams--who is Premier of Newfoundland, who needed heart surgery, and…

This seems to be an extension of the old disapproved and discredited idea of the 'use it or lose it' theory from the last Congress.

Mandating production on all Federal leases and increasing fees would not necessarily increase production and could, in fact, reduce industry interest in Federal leases.

Am I to understand that I hear today that there is perhaps a consensus emerging that we need to move more toward nuclear energy which will help us out in the long run.

I appreciate the low-key approach of eminent domain. There have been abuses of that power by local governments, and using that as a last resort is the right way to do that.

I feel with the sacrifices our active duty are having to make, particularly those going overseas and on the front lines, that there is nothing that is too much to do for our active duty and their families.
