I yield myself 2 minutes, Mr. Speaker. I just want to again clarify what we have under consideration at this time, three different bills, a rule that would allow votes on three different bills that empower individuals and families as healthcare consumers while protecting taxpayer dollars. Each of these bills did advance through regular order and was favorably reported out of the Committee on Ways and Means. H.R. 1270, the Restoring Access to Medication Act, would eliminate barriers created in the Affordable Care Act for those who want to purchase over-the-counter medications with funds from their health savings account. H.R. 5445, the Health Care Security Act, introduced by Congressman Paulsen and myself, eliminates certain burdensome limitations on health savings accounts to help consumers take back control of their healthcare spending decisions. Finally, H.R. 4723, also introduced by Congresswoman Jenkins, protects taxpayers by recovering improper overpayments from subsidies awarded under the Affordable Care Act. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1645 Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentlewoman from New York (Ms. Clarke).
