This is a critical issue. This is an important piece of legislation. I, for one, don't trust this administration to get it right. They have tried every trick in the book they can to repeal the Affordable Care Act outright legislatively and to undermine it administratively. They have gone to the courts to take away critical protections from Americans who need them most. I, for one, am not going to stand for it.

Madam Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
