30 seconds' worth. First of all, we are protecting the lifeline for senior citizens by delaying the sequester cut to Medicare. We would have extraordinary problems if this cut were to be allowed to take effect. Second, we have defeated the Scott amendment which, if adopted, would have set a horrible precedent by refusing to fix Congress's mistake and forcing hospitals in one Senator's State to take on draconian Medicaid cuts. I urge an ``aye'' vote. Vote on H.R. 1868 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The bill having been read the third time, the question is, Shall the bill pass, as amended?
