The death tax is especially destructive for women- and minority owned small businesses.

Like you, I have a local restauranteur who, you know, has instructed his four store managers they will never again hire a full-time worker.

The ACA restricted those, in effect, shifting costs from those who are older and usually had more healthcare costs to those who are younger and who don't.

This is not how affordable healthcare reform should work.

This may be one of the reasons this is the most disappointing economic recovery in 50 years.

He wants to grow. And I have a small pizza business in Willis, Texas, who would like to expand to two neighboring communities but, primarily because of this, simply can't afford to do so.

the Subcommittee will hold a hearing on the individual and employer mandates and associated penalties in the President's health care law.

It is the law of the land. Until the Supreme Court rules in May or June or whatever they do, it is the law of the land.

What ObamaCare does is force people to pay for healthcare plans they don't want, can't afford, and, for some, this meant losing the coverage they already had.

I have never said this was a perfect bill. I never thought it was.

I know some lawmakers in Congress, probably on both sides of the aisle, are tired of these hearings.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on passage of the bill will be followed by a 5-minute vote on agreeing to the Speaker's…

I know Mr. Levin has additional speakers, so I will reserve the balance of my time.

I am proud to yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Tennessee (Mrs. Black), who has spent more than 40 years in health care as a nurse and as a small-business owner. She is a member of the Doctors Caucus here and is a key leader in…

I yield myself the balance of my time to close. Mr. Speaker, there is nothing wrong with being passionate about your ideas and principles, and nowhere is that more evident than in health care. When you can find, though, common ground on…

I am proud to yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Curbelo), a new Member of Congress who is passionate about health care, reforming Medicare, and helping seniors. {time} 1130

I rise on behalf of Chairman Paul Ryan, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, in support of H.R. 2, a bill led by Dr. Michael Burgess, and I am joined by many of our colleagues, both here in the House and throughout the country. This…

I am proud to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Meehan), who is a champion in health care and whose district has a large number of seniors.

Look, I don't blame Democrats for not understanding this budget. They could never pass one. In fact, there hasn't been a budget for this great country since 2009, when they were in charge. In fact, it is the Republicans who have…

Did I hear the Chair say that all time has expired on the Democrat side of the aisle? The Acting CHAIR. The time of the gentlewoman from New York has expired.

I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Chairman, under the Full Employment and Balanced Growth Act of 1978, the Joint Economic Committee provides analysis and recommendations about the goals and policies set forth in the economic…

This is the number-one reason family-owned farms and businesses aren't passed down to the next generation.
