I thank the gentleman for yielding. I would just ask the gentleman this: What other sorts of legal claims should a victim be able to prove in court--prove in court, but be denied damages by the judge?

I yield myself such time as I may consume, and I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cartwright).

It is a simple question. What other sorts of legal claims should a victim be able to prove in court--because they are allowed to do this under rule 11--prove that they have suffered damages in court, but be denied those damages by the…

This is not like originally delivering telephone services or rural electrification where it was either there or it wasn't there.

And would one of you answer my question, which was, can you give us a summary of the impact that such an Order, meaning the California Dairy Marketing Order, will have on the rest of the country?

You can inadvertently destroy existing competition by providing government subsidies to entities that enter the marketplace.

I want to reiterate what a number of folks have said here about the importance of the services for economic development in rural areas.

I want to thank Chairman Royce for his outstanding leadership on this issue. Mr. Speaker, our Founding Fathers included in the preamble of the United States Constitution the intention of our government to provide for the common defense…

Rather than promoting free markets, Obamacare put in place a regulatory structure that stifled competition and instituted incentives for increased market consolidation.

In 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which I believe is antithetical to competition.

I want my girls to have mammograms, and whether they have money or not, I want them to have mammograms.

It does not make more sense to give that money for those of us who deeply care about women's health, give it to facilities that actually do the mammograms so Planned Parenthood does not take their cut?

I see this as a hearing to protect the health of females.

I am grateful for pro-life leaders like Chairman Goodlatte, who are spearheading this critical investigation.

On the floor of this House in 2011, the President of the United States promised the American people to reduce barriers to growth and investment: ``When we find rules that put an unnecessary burden on businesses, we will fix them.'' Mr…

I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I support his amendment. The bill restores to Congress the accountability for regulatory decisions that impose major burdens on our economy. As Congress makes those decisions, one of the most…

The amendment seeks to carve out from the REINS Act's reforms regulations that concern natural gas or hazardous materials pipeline safety or the prevention of oil spills and their adverse impacts. We all support pipeline safety and the…

I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. The REINS Act is intended to make sure that Federal Government regulations get it right--solve the problem intended to be solved by the Congress in the manner intended by the Congress…

I urge my colleagues to support the underlying bill, which would be badly undermined by this amendment, which would remove from Congress the ability to determine which regulations make sense and which don't, which regulations comport with…

This amendment exempts from the bill any rule pertaining to health or public safety. Health and public safety regulation, done properly, serves important goals, and the bill does nothing to frustrate the effective achievement of those…

This amendment carves out of the REINS Act's congressional approval procedures all regulations from the Department of Veterans Affairs that concern the availability of affordable medication and effective healthcare management for veterans…

The amendment carves out of the REINS Act congressional approval procedures all regulations that pertain to nuclear reactor safety standards. REINS Act supporters believe in nuclear safety. We want to guarantee that regulatory decisions…

In closing, the facts speak for themselves. During the course of the Obama administration, which I think most people would agree has been very aggressive at imposing new regulations upon our economy and on our society--it has averaged 81 a…

The amendment carves out of the REINS Act's congressional approval procedures regulations that the Office of Management and Budget determines will lead to net job creation. The danger in the amendment is the strong incentive it gives the…

What this amendment says is, because the Department of Veterans Affairs is doing a remarkably bad job of providing timely health care to citizens, we should carve out that Department's responsibility for providing medications and timely…
