Again, our colleagues continue to try to mislead the American people about what this bill does. These plans cannot cherry-pick, cannot exclude, and must cover preexisting conditions. The opposition to this bill from our colleagues across the aisle, unfortunately, is to freedom of choice. The title of this bill is the CHOICE Arrangement Act, freedom of choice, which would allow people to stay out of the non-affordable care act, known as ObamaCare, but still have affordable health insurance. This bill is about choice, freedom, and good healthcare coverage, and we should approve the bill without this amendment. Madam Chair, I ask my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Connecticut (Mrs. Hayes). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
