“I will answer that question. Since I have not yielded the floor, I would like to make a broader point after that and have a colloquy. I will point out why, which is that we are operating under some time constraints. So I want to do what the Senator asked of detailing the unanimous consent requests that I want to promulgate so he and the majority leader may consider them.

Then I think we should adopt free market plans to lower prices, make health care more affordable, make it portable, and allow it to go with individuals.”
