the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: madam speaker, i think one of the differences between what the republicans have proposed and what democrats are proposing is that what they propose is just one thing. cuts. cuts and cuts and cuts and programs for the most needy in this country and more tax cuts for the most wealthy. what the democrats have proposed is a more balanced approach. yeah, there needs to be some sacrifice. but we also understand the importance of investment. if you want to find a way to balance the budget, why don't we find a cure to alzheimer's disease? not only would that help improve the quality of life for millions of people, but it would also eliminate all the fiscal problems that medicaid has. let's find a cure to diabetes. let's find a cure to cancer. why aren't our energies devoted toward investing in medical research? and yet the ryan budget that we are now debating would devastate medical research in this country. it would devastate it. i mean, we have researchers coming in to visit us wh

massachusetts has had all of the pieces of the puzzle for many years. we have really under governor patrick's leadership had a very deliberate strategy to bring the public and private sectors together to focus on how to invigorate our economy. it has been a consistent strategy for seven years now. >> let's take a look at massachusetts's economic growth. in 2013 it was 2%. the forecast for 2014 is 2.9%. that will be stronger than u.s. economy. and in 2015, 3.2%. when you talk about the strategy that you have employed for the last seven years, and you have a con venn accusation on innovation, can you give us some examples >> we're focusing on making public investments and research and development and infrastructure. we're working with the business community to understand where the private sector will do a lot of investing, but there are gaps in that. in the life sciences and innovation sectors, some of that early research is not going to be done simply by the private sector. it's not profitable enough. that's something the federal government has played a

as you know, massachusetts is very for my with a framework of the aca.in 2006, former governor mitt romney worked with our state legislature to fashion an approach to expanding health coverage the two ideas from both ends of the political spectrum. once he took office in 2007, governors -- other deval patrick work to bring the framework to light in close collaboration with our state legislature, our health care providers, our business and labor leaders, our insurers, our consumer advocates and countless others. we are extraordinarily proud of the results we have achieved together over the past eight years. virtually all of the commonwealth's residents are now insured at 97%. 91% of our residents report having access to a primary care physician, and 88% having seen a physician in the previous 12 months. on a whole host of measures we are healthier. at the same time more employers are offering coverage and our budgets have been consistently balanced. one of the most important lessons we've learned in the year since 2007 was that health care reform takes ti

what it said is when you're married in massachusetts, the federal government's going to discriminateour marriage and not treat you as married. that's what we changed last year and put the federal government now on the side of the families and the constitution. now, couples who get legally married are treated as married, because that's what they are, by the federal government for federal purposes and programs. but states like utah continue to discriminate both against those couples who are legally married and against the couples who want to get married. and so the real struggle now is to end this discrimination nationwide. to make sure that all couples have the same freedom to marry, take on that commitment, that responsibility, if that's what they choose for their lives, and to make sure all marriages are respected. >> what are the practical consequences? let's say you have a state with a population of overwhelmingly passing the constitutional amendment, or a florida that passed a constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriage. to argue the other side, why should they recognize t
