I thank the gentleman for his comment. It is, therefore, extraordinarily sad that we have spent 6 years with only one option that the majority would pursue: repeal. Not fix, not make it work better, not ensure that people can afford their…

I don't know whether that is a ``yes'' or a ``no'' or ``I don't intend to tell you,'' but it certainly does not tell me whether the majority leader knows that. I would suggest to the chairman of the committee, though, Mr. Speaker, that the…

I think that is an excellent quote, which I still agree with. Mr. McCARTHY. So you know the importance. What I would say to the gentleman is: let's work with this administration. As we sat in our meeting this week with leaders of other…

I thank the majority leader for his comments. I don't think he wants me to delve very deeply into why we do not have a Secretary of Health and Human Services. It is because the Republicans have not produced nor has the nominee produced…
