Thank you, Congressman Weber. Before I yield to my friend from far north Texas, Mr. Benishek, of the First District of Michigan, I want to read into the Record a comment that I received on my Facebook page. Now, most of these comments are from Texans, some of them are not. I'm not sure of the location of this gentleman, Mr. Dave Guss, Jr. This is a Facebook page comment received yesterday or this morning: Just got a letter from my provider that my policy will end and I need to purchase a new one. When I called and asked why, I was told that my current policy does not meet the required coverage for ObamaCare because it has no prenatal coverage. I am a male. The new policy will cost me $500 a month, the old one I had was $200 a month. We have a number of these stories, Mr. Speaker, that I will be putting into the Record as this Special Order continues. But now I would like to yield to the gentleman from the First District of Michigan (Mr. Benishek).

Truth is a powerful drug. Use it sparingly.

That's hard to stomach. We wouldn't be having this discussion if there wasn't a general agreement that your company has discriminated against conservatives, most of whom happen to be Republican.
