Mr. Leader, will it assume the repeal of the ACA in fiscal year '17 or fiscal year '18, either one of those years, which clearly has not seemed possible at this point in time? I yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend for yielding. If the question is have I given up on repealing ObamaCare, the answer is no. So, yes, this is the budget for the rest of the year.

The lack of insurance, when you look at the number of counties, 40 percent of all of the counties in America only have one provider, some have none. We watched premiums go up. We want a healthcare system where people have choice, that, actually, the price is lower and the quality is better. That is something I will never give up on, so, yes.
