I hope Members will really take a look at what is happened here. This is blatant politics and blatant hypocrisy. The bill's title speaks of laudatory goals, while the provisions of the bill for medical savings accounts will ultimately have adverse effects on health insurance policies of all persons in this country who are not wealthy and cannot afford a medical savings account. The Golden Rule Insurance Co. is being repaid by the Gingrich majority for Golden Rules contribution to GOPAC and the Republican's campaign coffers. It's more than 30 pieces of silver. It is millions from taxpayers' pockets to put into the pockets of Golden Rule. Blatant politics and blatant hypocrisy.
