I would like to yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Houston, Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), home of Archie Bell and the Drells. (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to revise and extend her remarks.)

I yield such time as she may consume to the gentlelady in order to explain the fallacies of this bill.

I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Chairman, we have had a good discussion on this bill. Indeed, it is ``Groundhog Day'' as we have had it so many times. We've just gone around and around. It is amazing that this body, which I am…

Mr. Chairman, this is a microcosm of this 113th Congress; the macro has been the 40th attempt coming up to repeal ObamaCare. This is a microcosm to try to defeat ObamaCare through a little regulation. It seems like the preoccupation that…
