mcdermott for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman. as the gnashing thies from republicans -- from teeth from the republicans today. of course, this is all fantasy. this is another stunt cooked up by the republicans to satisfy the extremists of the koch brothers and the producers at fox news. let's start with some facts. thanks to aca every american now has health security because they can no longer be locked out of the market or discriminated against because of a pre-existing condition. more than seven million people have signed up for health insurance through the federal and state-based marketplaces. more than 11 million have been determined eligible for medicaid between october and february of this year. and three million adults are now covered by their parents' coverage. these are real people, real stories, real progress. not actors paid via extremist pac money to appear in fraudulent gop attack ads. sorry, the fight's been lost for the republicans on aca. the law is succeeding. and all the focused hearings about the aca aren't goi

mcdermott, opening statement. he said it is pure fantasy that the republicans contend the hca is unworkable. if that is the case, why did you do these delays? >> we do not believe that the hca, the affordable care act is unworkable. the reason we did provide transition relief in accordance with treasurys authority to do so under the tax code. with respect to the employer shared responsibility provisions , stakeholders make the case to us -- >> it was unworkable to them? >> made the case to us, sir, that with more time -- >> why did they need more time? >> with more time they would be able to better adapt there reporting systems -- >> under the time friend that the law allowed they did not have the time to conform their systems to what was being required? >> congressman, the business community started out in dialogue with us on what their temporaries would be. >> i'm just asking, why did they solicit and seek more time that these delays now allow them? why did they seek more time? >> we did. the reason they some mo

joining me now are congressman jim mcdermott, democrat of washington, and "washington pos post"'s nia-malika henderson. thank you both for being here. >> thanks, rest. >> good evening. >> are your republican colleagues having a hard time accepting reality here? >> they are really apoplectic at this point. they don't know what to do. it turned out exactly as ms. sebelius predicted, and they don't know how to deal with success. they have lost and they can't admit it. so they keep throwing all kinds of crazy ideas against the wall, hoping something will stick. but i'll tell you what's going to happen. they're ultimately going to admit they failed, and they're going to pivot and start to say they're here to help fix it. and they're going to try and love it to death. that's going to be their next trick. >> nia-malika, the republicans are trying -- they're just tying themselves up, really. in all kinds of knots, trying to say they don't like the health care law and this and that about the health care law. but they do like what is in it. listen to this. >> let's start with the idea that preexisting

i wait to listen to something that bill mcdermott had to say earlier. >> i think it might very well bea repeat of 2000. today, we declared nearly one billion euros in profit to the shareholders. billioniding 5.8 to 6 profit. those companies are growing pretty fast. they're losing money faster than the topline growth rate. >> are we in a bubble? >> i don't believe we are in a bubble. i disagree with bill. i was around in 2000. a lot of companies that went out had no revenue at all and just went down on eyeballs. we're in a different place today. if you go public, you have to have recurring revenue. this of new companies in model are still working hard to generate growth, so they do sacrifice some profit. i do not think that is a bad thing. i also do agree that there are -- oute is some frothiness there with acquisitions. we should not let one or two of those paint everybody. >> what has been frothy? there was ahink recent acquisition that was done at a high valuation. >> which one? >> you can probably guess. >> when you advise companies on going public, with two they take into account?

mcdermott: mr. speaker, a budget is a statement of a society's moral principles. the democratic budget is an investment plan that creates a job for a marine that comes back from vietnam -- from afghanistan. it guarantees self-security for single mom and her asthmatic daughter. it expands opportunity of a bright-eyed son from immigrant parents who go to college. the republican manifesto doesn't create a job for that marine. the ryan budget fires three million americans and it will ship jobs overseas. the ryan budget repeals the affordable care act, forcing that single mother and baby daughter back into the intolerable days when their family cannot afford health care. in summary, the republican budget asks not what you can do for your country but proclaims your country refuses to do a thing for you. the democratic budget invests in our greatest resore, the american people, the key to our nation's continued greatness in the years to come. vote yes on the democratic alternative. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. ryan: mr. c
