BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. LARSON of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, I thank the leader of the Ways and Means Committee and rise in strong support of this legislation.

We have heard an awful lot of talk about subsidies over there. Let's cut right to the chase. It is about subsidies. You care about subsidies for billionaires, and you are willing to do it on the backs of the American people.

You would rather see them--thank God for the people who are standing up on your side. They deserve the Profile in Courage award because they are able to stand up to a President who would rather see 15 million people lose insurance and another 20 million see their prices double. Thank the Republicans on that side for profiles in courage.

Vote your conscience. Vote your constituents. This is not about politics. It is about people.
