Michael Burgess: “Just in closing, I would say that I do appreciate Mr. Shadegg bringing this bill to the floor today. I appreciate him…”

On the recordDecember 17, 2005
Just in closing, I would say that I do appreciate Mr. Shadegg bringing this bill to the floor today. I appreciate him bringing up the concept of the refundable tax credit. I, too, think this is important legislation, that we in the Chamber today have some of the best minds on the health subcommittee. I hope we can work together to get that passed next year. I hope we can look at other opportunities such as what Governor Jeb Bush is doing down in the State of Florida for purchasing insurance for those working poor who cannot afford it. But this is a good bill; this is good legislation. It will be very helpful back in my home State of Texas.
