I thank the gentleman. Before I yield to the Congressman from the Fourth District of Texas (Mr. Hall), let me read a few more comments into the Record from my Facebook page. This is from Kevin Jones: It hasn't hurt me yet, but it will. I don't have medical insurance; don't want medical insurance; don't need medical insurance. I pay my own way. Because I am self-pay, I am able to negotiate some nice discounts on my medical bills. ObamaCare will just be another tax on me. This is from a lady named Theresa Stone: I had a job that I did well in, but because I was expensive and getting old--I'm turning 54 in January--to save money, I was let go in February for absolutely bogus reasons. I am collecting unemployment, but that ends in January. I lost my insurance when I lost my job. I can't afford my bills--house, food and insurance--so I am uncovered. I will never sign up for ObamaCare--ever. With that, I yield to the gentleman from Rockwall, Texas, the Fourth District of Texas, Mr. Ralph Hall, a decorated World War II veteran and, in my opinion, the absolutely nicest man in this Congress.

I am a little bit skeptical if we are doing this simply because we don't like natural gas power, we don't like coal power, we don't like nuclear power, because that would be an added cost that somebody's got to bear.
