lydia was pregnant when her husband switched jobs. her new insurance company said, her pregnancy was a pre-existing condition and they wouldn't pay any expenses. so lydia was insured but she wasn't covered. that is wrong. it is just plain wrong. mr. speaker, a new-born child should be -- newborn child should be a pleasure and not a pre-existing condition. new parents expect some sleepless nights. they don't expect their insurance company to deny coverage for the pregnancy. new parents should worry about the baby and not about the medical bills. the new health care law closes the book on these kinds of insurance company abuses. let us not, today, reopen it once again. say no to this republican bad deal that takes away patients' rights and freedoms and say yes to a health care system that protects americans. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan. mr. upton: mr. speaker, before i yield a minute to the gentleman from illinois, mr. shimkus, it' like to yield 30 seconds to the gentleman from georgia, dr. gingrey. the speaker

first up, we've got an e-mail from lydia from indiana.some money, talked to financial planners about what to do. one recommendation, put some in a roth i.r.a. another interesting idea, commercial paper. can you let me know? what is commercial paper? >> commercial paper is a very, very short-term corporate loan. but individuals don't really buy commercial paper very often for their portfolios. what they buy are very, very ultra short-term bond funds, and they also buy money market funds. and what you need to do is exactly what you're doing. talk to those financial advisers and figure out a comprehensive plan. the worst thing that you could do is just go out and buy something willy nilly. instead, you really have an opportunity to do some planning for your life, figure out how much of that money you can tax shelter. for example, in that roth i.r.a., in a 401(k) at work. and then develop a real asset allocation strategy, the right amount in stocks, in bonds, in cash, to get you from here to where you want to be tomorrow. >> so take some time
