Thank you, Congressman Cardenas. Thank you for all of your work. You also raise a great point, which is folks will often see the sticker price of the insurance on the exchanges. By the way, I, as well as many other Members of Congress, bought our insurance off of the exchanges. We were getting asked that question a lot. You know, are you going to buy ObamaCare? The answer is yes. I bought my insurance off the exchanges, and I saved money. Folks should make sure that they also check, besides the sticker price, what kind of subsidy they get because it is meant to make insurance affordable for middle class Americans and others. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from New Mexico (Ms. Michelle Lujan Grisham).
