“I thank Representative Barr. Your compassion on this topic is certainly evident. We appreciate your comments this evening. Mr. Speaker, there are a couple of numbers I would like to share that puts it a little bit in the context of what we are dealing with here. Seventy-five percent of co-ops have failed. In five States, Americans are down to just one option. The great thing about our country's history is that we have choices. We have decisions. Yet, since the takeover of this administration over health care, those choices have continued to reduce. Sometimes you may hear Congress this or Congress that. One of the neat things about Congress is the amount of people coming from diverse backgrounds. Our next speaker tonight is Representative Mike Bishop, former senate majority leader in his home State of Michigan, who was already working on those reforms when he came to the United States Congress. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my good friend from Michigan (Mr. Bishop).”
