On the recordMarch 21, 2013
I thank the gentleman for his participation. Being as he's from Texas, I also feel compelled to add that that 0.1 percent growth, you subtract out the jobs created in Texas this year--somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000--we're in a recession without the State of Texas as a part of the Union. I know the gentleman is grateful for the service of the Governor and State legislature, as am I. They've done a great job in the State. I'd like to recognize another fellow physician, Dr. Gingrey, a member of the committee, outspoken leader on this issue, and one who never ceases to have great ideas on the right ways to do things if we are going to talk about health care and health care delivery in this country.
