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.
