mr. matheson. mr. matheson: what should be noticed most is, after the house finishes it business of we have these opportunities to have 60 minutes to talk about anything and usually those are divided democrats have an hour, republicans have an hour. but now we're here with people from both parties taking -- talking together. i applaud the gentleman's leadership in working in a constructive way, building a coalition around this issue and i'm going to take some time a little bit later to continue talking about this issue but if i could just for the moment i'd like to yield time to my colleague, mr. peters of california for comments on the medical device tax. mr. peters: thank you. mr. speaker, i rise with many of my colleagues to urge the full and immediate repeal of the medical device tax provision in the affordable care act. as we speak, there are thousands of companies nationwide that are working to develop new technologies that will transform the face of medical care. in my district in san diego, cali

mr. matheson's office. karen and rachel, all of these people played an essential role in getting this bill through. i want to single out mr. griffin who introduced the bill in the house, along with ms. degette and mr. green. this served as a foundation for the compounding debate. mr. matheson, mr. latta introduced the house track and trace bill. everybody didn't get what they wanted. this bill is a compromise. this institution has to reach compromises to get things done. we cannot have every issue litigated and relitigated. once the law is settled, we must go on. and i am chagrinned that we are likely to close the government because on the other side of the aisle the leadership in this house wants to keep the fight going on the affordable care act. it is the law, it is a firm -- it has been affirmed by the courts, it's about to be put in place. we should work together to solve our country's problems, not make them worse. by failing to compromise and work with each other. i yield back the balance of my time.

mr. matheson said earlier. this medical device surtax wasn't included in the affordable care act, what the president calls obamacare, for any sort of policy reason. it was just put in to raise revenue. there's no real consideration when this bill was passed about how to make the bill sustainable from a fiscal standpoint. instead it was an insurance coverage bill and they were going to figure out some of the financials later. and so this was one effort i think to mitigate the cost of the bill. we discovered that it's just incredibly costly in other ways, though. the opportunity costs that will be borne by people like sheila frazier if this innovation doesn't occur. so, for sheila and for millions of americans, tens of millions of people around the world that benefit from these devices, i think we owe it to them to repeal this medical device tax, a very bipartisan issue, a bicameral issue. my constituents are demanding it , the american people are increasingly demanding it across the country. and so i just look f

mr. dingell, ms. degette, and matheson for their work as well. additional one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. upton: i also want to thank chairman harkin and chairman alexander for their leadership. i talked with him a number of homes over the last number of weeks. waint to thank our staff on both ides, particularly our side. it is because of their collaborative and tireless efforts that we are near the resolution of last year's deadly outbreak. and their work is to be applauded. to all the families who have lost loved ones and those still suffering today, i talked to someone whose relative is still suffering within the last hour, we are near the resolution of last year's deadly outbreak. so let's say to those families and to those who lost loved ones and those still suffering today, with this bill we are going to say never again. so i urge my colleagues to support the bill. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. waxman: i yield myself three min
