burgess: mr. chairman, i'll tell you what's not rational, it's not agsal to spend this money and say you're prohibited from providing care. let's be honest, the money for construction was do you plick tif. it was offered up in the stimulus bill previously so we are duplicating a previous expenditure in forward advancing, advance funding in the patient protection and affordable care act. that is what doesn't make sense. previous speaker on the democratic side called me mindless. that's mindless. was mindless to pass this bill over the objections of the american people to not listen to the voices of the people that were literally ringed around this capitol a year ago that said kill this bill. now we have a chance to bring back a little bit of spending, to bring back into the arena in which it belongs which is the united states house of representatives, the people's house. the mandatory spending was not in the bill that passed this house in november of 2009. this language was put in by the united sta

now burgess makes the antagonist an immoral man, which is a dilemma for us because us liberal thinkershink how dare -- surely if the man is a murderer, why should we make freedom his condition? but the thing is it is very important that, you know, we don't allow big brother, the state to take over whatever it is. a man should be free to choose and that's what this is about. tavis: what did playing this character malcolm, do to you or for you in terms of us seeing you as a sinister and sadoy character? >> well, -- shad owey character? >> well, my mother wasn't too happy. she said can't you ever play any nice parts? i do have to admit she had a points. i lived in notting hill at the time. i used to go get my newspaper every day. i knew them four or five years before the movie came out. when the movie came out, i went into the news agent and saw the same gang and he literally went aaahhh!

burgess: i withdraw the point of order. the speaker pro tempore: the reservation is withdrawn an the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. burgess: i thank the speaker for the recognition. it's an interesting little motion to recommit, described as being benign and not changing the overall nature of the underlying legislation. so benign is the motion -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will suspen. mr. burgess: it descends into the realm of being superfluous and unnecessary. it's a motion to recommit to publish the names and low cages of applicants who will not receive grants. from this, we won't know if those grants not approved were simply poorly drafted. we have a health care law that was poorly drafted so we know it is within the realm of someone working in the federal government to poorly draft an application for a school-based clinic. washington's addiction to spending has become crystal clear to the american people and the passage of this massive health care law by president obama last year is exhibit a

burgess meredith got out there and read a passage from the great war correspondent, we won this war becausewe are brave soldiers and great allies. we have a lot of material abundance in this country. we didn't win it because we are gods chosen people or will because we are anything special. we should just be glad to be worthy of the piece. that tone of humility was so striking to me on the day they won world war ii. then i get home and turn on the tv and i'm watching football and the cornerback tackles a wide receiver after two-yard gain and does this victory dance to himself for his great achievement. and it occurred to me i had just seen greater self puffery after two-yard gain than winning world war ii. and i do think this is a change from a culture of self effacement. nobody's better than me and i'm not better than anybody else to waste culture of self celebration, look at me i'm pretty good. this polling data that uses a fourth is my favorite one is gallup asked high school seniors in 1950 are you a very important person and 12% said yes. in 2005 they asked again are you a very importa

burgess: i thank the speaker. many people didn't notice that a little over three weeks ago that medicare trustees report came out and advised that the medicare program would be in serious difficulty in the year 2023. now, you might ask what is congress doing about this? we have well over 10 years to react. the republican budget that was passed a few weeks ago did indeed lay out a pathway for dealing with the problems in the future, unfortunately the democratic leadership in the other body has decided not to take up any type of road map or pathway that may lead to a resolution of this problem. so we are left with the program that was essentially laid out by the president in the affordable care act. and this program relies heavily upon a group called the independent payment advisory board. 15 people not elected but appointed by the president, well paid, to sit on a board and to deliver to congress every year a menu of cuts and the amount of money medicare may spend. congress, true enough, has the ability to accept o

burgess: thank you mr. speaker. the patient protection affordable care act build billed as a health care bill is a tax bill. it's riddled with fees and penalty that is will drive up the cost of health care by imposing taxes on families and businesses. included in the law was a tax increase on nonmedical expenditures from a health savings account. there's always been a 10% penalty now it jumps to 20%. in addition beginning next years employers that have 50 full-time employees for the previous calendar year must offer health coverage that meets the minimum essential benefit coverage requirement of the secretary of health and human services and that coverage requirement is likely to cost $52 billion over the next 10 years. hardly the way to foster job creation in an economy that desperately needs jobs. the individual mandate starts out as attacks then a penalty, now back to a tax again. the administration creatively changed its position when it realized that the mandate was indeed a tax even though it violated the pres

in regards to h.r. 1214, swro introduced by representative burgess of texas, who is one of the physician members of our republican caucus, it repeals the school-based health center construction fund. obamacare provides $2 million in appropriations through fiscal year 2013 which this legislation would rescind. this money is only for facilities. with an express prohibition on using the funds for personnel or to provide health services at these newly constructed facilities. the facilities could be built with no guarantee, therefore, that the center would ever see or care for one single patient. another example of the wasteful, duplicative spending that cause odd because macare to have such a huge price tag. it's another example of spending we simply cannot afford. obamacare and the stimulus bill have already made $3 billion available to the department of health and human services for facility improvements at community health centers. providing an additional $50 million a year is duplicative. we do not need to build for building's sake. therefore we must vote to repeal this provision and wit
