I remind my colleague that his vote for this bill will result in 63,900 people from his congressional district in Florida losing healthcare coverage and care. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Courtney).

I remind my distinguished colleague from Virginia that his vote for this bill will result in 56,100 more people from his congressional district in Virginia losing health care. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from the Mariana…

I thank the gentleman from California for organizing the Special Order so that we could actually discuss some of the problems with going forward without a CBO score, without knowing what we are doing. Certainly, it is not an improvement in…

The clinics will shut down. Insurance companies will stop writing insurance if people can wait until they get sick before they buy insurance. The insurance companies reacted to that system in Washington State by selling nobody any…

In fact, when we passed the Affordable Care Act, the estimated cost on a family policy was about $1,000 a year on the family policy for uncompensated costs shifted on to the insured public. In fact, in Virginia, it is estimated that…

To add insult to injury, part of the scheme is to allow insurance companies to charge senior citizens even more. Right now they are limited to three times what they charge everybody else. Their bill allows up to five times. That is a…

Before I yield to the gentleman from Florida. The law requires the keeping the records for 5 years. If there are bogus records, you ought to have an obligation to keep them correct. That has been the interpretation for 40 years, up until…

This resolution threatens the success of the law we fought so hard to pass, so I urge a ``no'' vote.

I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on this resolution of disapproval. I yield back the balance of my time.

I deeply believe that all students with disabilities deserve the protections and supports to provide them with an equal opportunity at a high-quality education as any other student.

But unfortunately, Republican school choice is a backdoor to undermining those civil rights protections we wrote into ESSA.

If we are truly committed to fulfilling the promise of Brown for all of our children regardless of zip code, income, race, language status, or disability, we should invest in our public education system instead of siphoning public dollars…

I hope that today's hearing makes clear to the American people that Republican school choice is not the type of choice that will achieve equity of educational opportunity for all children.

So the choice isn't on the part of the parents, the choice is whoever gets to decide who gets a voucher.

We also know that research on voucher programs are clear, they do not lead to academic benefits for low-income students.

One of the challenges we have as legislators is making the best use of the taxpayer's dollars.

H.R. 21 is poised to allow wholesale undermining of critical protections for students, workers, taxpayers, and consumers. I, therefore, urge a ``no'' vote.

To respond. Mr. Speaker, I want to remind people that, of the people affected and the people that routinely work overtime, complying with the rule will add less than one-tenth of 1 percent to U.S. payrolls. The costs to nonprofits and to…

Just to acknowledge the retirement of the Chair. I have only been ranking member for this Congress, but we have been able to work together constructively for elementary and secondary education, juvenile justice, career and technical…

If there is a surprisingly good market, how would the employee benefit?

So the employees take the downside risk. What about the upside, who enjoys the upside surprise?

Frankly, it is like having a pizza. You don't have more pizza if you cut it into slices; you still have the same amount of money.
