Thank you to Congresswoman Foxx. Thank you for your leadership in this area. It's wonderful, I think, to hear from women, and one woman in particular is the gentlelady from Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, who has let our Conference know absolutely clearly that 80 percent of all health care decisions in this country are made by women, so women, in particular, are impacted by this decision because they are at the front line of understanding how unaffordable the President's new health care plan is, how unfair it's going to be to themselves, to their families, to their parents that they often care for, how unworkable it is, and how they want to see a positive solution. We are not here just to beat up. We are here to make sure that we have a positive solution for American families, and it is women whom we are very concerned about today. So, with that, I would like to yield to the gentlelady from Tennessee, Mrs. Marsha Blackburn.
