I thank the gentleman from Georgia for joining us this evening. On the point about small businesses, I would refer to a McKenzie Group report that found that more than one-half of employers with high awareness of the impact of ObamaCare said in the poll and in that report that they will stop offering health coverage when this becomes fully implemented as a result of their concern as to the bureaucratic pressure and the cost that this law is going to put on small business America. To me, that's unacceptable. I know it is unacceptable to my colleague from Georgia, and I so appreciate you entertaining some time with us tonight. With that, I would like to yield to my good friend from South Carolina, a great member of the freshman class, Mr. Jeff Duncan.
