Mr. Speaker, skyrocketing cost, diminished choices for patients, small businesses destroyed, fewer jobs, and lower wages, that is ObamaCare's legacy. That is what Democrats imposed on our country. We believe the American people deserve a better way, and that is what this legislation will deliver. The American Health Care Act puts the American people back in control of their health care. It restores choices, protects the most vulnerable, encourages lower healthcare costs, empowers States, and frees families and small businesses from costly taxes and mandates. Let's keep our promise to provide a better way on health care by voting ``yes'' on the American Health Care Act. Mr. Speaker, I ask the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Walden) to engage in a brief colloquy. Health sharing ministries play an increasingly important role in the lives of many Americans, particularly in the devastating wake of ObamaCare. In recent days, constituents have expressed concerns about the future of these healthcare plans, particularly as it relates to whether they would be considered credible coverage under the bill's continuous coverage provisions. Will Chairman Walden work with me, as the bill moves forward, to ensure we address the concerns of those who benefit from health sharing ministries?
