On the recordJanuary 11, 2017
we have had a number of discussions about how to go about repealing and replacing the health care bill that is now law in our country. We have had a number of very thoughtful discussions on our side. I know a date has been put in this reconciliation of January 27, and we realize that is not a real date. That is a placeholder. That is the earliest they can come back. In talking with leadership and working through this, we understand that everyone here understands the importance of doing it right, giving Tom Price, the new HHS person, the time to weigh in and help us make this work in the appropriate way. For that reason, we plan to withdraw this amendment and place our faith in the fact that we are going to do this in a manner that works well for the American people. I yield to Senator Portman. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Ohio.
