Thank you, Mr. Horsford, for once again co-anchoring this Special Order and for your tremendous leadership, and also thanks to Dr. Christensen. We are thankful for all that you have done in chairing the CBC Brain Trust on Health Care. The Affordable Care Act is the law of the land; the President has been elected and reelected; the Supreme Court has ruled it constitutional. Let's move forward and address the health care disparities that have been set forth so eloquently here today, come together and deal with the ailments that are facing the American people. With that, I yield back the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. DeSantis). Members are reminded not to refer to persons on the floor as guests of the House.
