president, i ask unanimous consent that a member of my staff romana mcgee and marisa mallick and john heath be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the session. the presiding officer: without t objection, so ordered without objection. mr. cornyn: i know a number of our colleagues came to the floor to talk about health care. it deserves our closest attention to something that will impact not just some of us, but literally all 300 million of us living here in the united states. but i want to focus my remarks in just the next few minutes on somewhat missing -- what is missing from the bills moving in the senate and the house of representatives. millions of americans are paying attention to what's in these business, and that's a good thing. everybody wants to see what congress is up to and everybody wants to understand what's in these bills and how it will impact their health care. as i talked to my constituents in texas, they tell me that congress may well make the problem worse, and for good reason. families are worried that congress will increase the costs of their health care
