let's hear from some of the people in rural America whose health care is going to be impacted by this bill. More spending fuels more taxes. Let's hear it from the McConathy family in Mineola, Texas. "We are retired and on a fixed income. If our taxes are raised almost $3,000, we will not be able to afford the medication we need." Mr. Chairman, that is coming from the people who have to pay the taxes to help pay for the 37 percent increase in this program that the Democrat majority wants. Maybe they can spend their money better for their health care; and, because of that, I urge adoption of this amendment.
