I yield myself 15 seconds, Mr. Speaker. Mr. McKinley mentioned seniors. I would point out that, beginning in 2011, the health care reform provides a 50 percent discount for prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries. There are 12,100 Medicare beneficiaries in Representative McKinley's district who benefit from these provisions. Seniors benefit from this bill, and if you repeal the bill, those seniors are going to have a loss. I reserve the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would like to note, at the present time, the gentleman from Michigan has 11\1/2\ minutes remaining; the gentleman from New Jersey has 10\1/4\ minutes remaining.
