I thank the gentleman so much for those thoughts and reflections that we should have about this bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Houston, Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee). She has been an advocate for Americans, has spoken, and done so eloquently, related to her work on the Judiciary Committee, as well as Homeland Security, and I am eager to hear what the gentlewoman has to say about healthcare. And as well, of course, as a fellow Caribbean American, I would wish her and her family a Happy Caribbean American Heritage Month, which was, of course, offered by our colleague, Barbara Lee, in 2005.
