“I want to read out the title of a blast that I just received from The Heritage Foundation. Some of our Members might be interested in this. ``A temporary SGR patch is better than permanent deficits in support of the bill.'' My colleagues, this morning, seniors are watching. This is not a game. We are thinking of seniors and certainty for them. A vote ``no'' today is a vote against seniors. We are not voting for the AMA today. We are voting for or against seniors today. We will continue to work with all of our might for a permanent repeal of SGR. We have worked on this for 3 years. We must get there as soon as possible, but we are at a deadline, and this is the last vote we will have. If you vote ``no'' on this bill, you are voting for more uncertainty. You are voting for a cut to doctor reimbursement. You are voting against seniors. Let us vote for seniors this morning. Vote for H.R. 4302. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
