Mr. Speaker, we have heard a vigorous debate today about this issue. We have heard a good number of speakers say that we did it the hard way. They would have done it the easy way. I think they are right; we did do it the hard way. But I would like to be accused of doing it the right way, doing what is in the best interest of not only the taxpayer, but also in the best interest of people who have needs and who need to make sure that their insurance coverage is done right. Mr. Speaker, I can proudly ask my colleagues to support not only this fair rule, but one which has the underlying legislation which is good for all of America and will ensure that the confidence and the stability of this country is held together. I am very proud of what we have done.
