mr. mcdermott, the ranking member on the health subcommittee. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the gentleman from new york is recognized for three minutes. mr. rangel: thank you, madam speaker. i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. rangel: thank you. my colleagues, there's a cancer growing in the republican party in the house of representatives. and as much as the democrat that i am, i hate to see this happen because our government is based on a two-party system. the republican party in the house they're doing the same insane things 50 times without getting the same results. it's bad enough that all of us ve to go down in political favoritism or our reputations go down, but this small group of people are going far enough now that the national republican party has no credibility. i will not embarrass anybody by asking them just who do you think nationally should serve our country from, pardon the expression, the republican party? you have none. somewhere along the line t

mcdermott: mr. speaker, winston churchill apparently once said, americans will always do the right thing. but only after they tried everything else. then again, churchill never tried to fix the doc fix in the united states congress. for 10 years we have been trying to fix the sustainable growth rate in medicare. for 10 years we have kicked the can down the road for 17 different short-term passed votes. the protecting access to medicare act of 2014 is a mixed bag of some important , some problematic provisions, such as the end renal stainl disease polcy, and some provisions that have never been vetted in front of the congress, in front of committees at all. and more importantly this bill represents our 18th failure to rebuild the bedrock of the medicare program. our 18th failure to provide american seniors with the safety and security of a permanent fix to the s.g.r. that's why the a.m.a. is voting no on this bill. that's why most physicians' groups are strongly opposed to this bill. last night my of

mr. mcdermott: is the lady from kansas ready to close? ms. jenkins: i see no other speakers, so i'm prepared to close. mr. mcdermott: i have one member in transit. let me say a few things until he gets here. i listened to this and i've been in congress 25 years, and i have listened to republicans talk about what we ought to do about health care. and they have never brought a bill to the committee, chairman's mark, for us to mark up and bring out on the floor. now, if you have a solution for the fact that health care costs re you biggest costs driving bankruptcy in this country, where is it? you don't like what you have here. now, when i was younger, i lived through the implementation of medicare. american medical association and everybody was just up and down and it was the worst thing. if we put in medicare, that was going to be the end of the world and we never would have health care in this country and we went on and on about that. they so poisoned the well that when people went out to recruit people to get in the medicare program people s

mr. mcdermott on that to get the other side. their partner with work day, they are partnered with sales force, but we are in the taalen management game, nice to meet you, adam. >> we all have tremendous momentum. all of i.t. spending is shifting from traditional software to cloud-based software. why? it's cheaper, faster to employ, there's no maintenance costs, and in many ways it's like using google instead of using microsoft office at home. always available, never have to do an update and access it from anywhere in the world. so it just makes sense. >> work day is happy to have you as part of a suite? >> we each have different parts of the total eco-system of the enterprise. >> they don't want your part, they are happy to work with you? >> as the companies get bigger, eventually we overlap in certain areas, so there's a lot of cooperation in the cloud, but we all have common enemies so we are working together. >> last question i have, people say, jim, why don't you recommend something that sells 12 times earnings with the s&p

mr. mcdermott on that. i read through all the documents. they're partnered with workday, with salesforce. how do i know that workday doesn't decide we're in the management game, nice to meet you? >> well, the reality in cloud computing, we all have tremendous momentum, right? >> right. >> all of i.t. spending is shifting from traditional software to cloud-based software. why? it's cheaper, faster to deploy, there's no maintenance cost. and in many ways, it's like using google instead of using microsoft office at home. it's always available, you never have to do an update and you could access it from anywhere in the world. it makes sense. >> so workday is happy to have you as part of a suite? >> we each have different parts of the total eco system of the enterprise. >> and they don't want your part? they're happy to work with you? >> look, as these companies get bigger, eventually we overlap in certain areas. so there's a lot of competition in the cloud, but we all have common enemies, so we're working together. >> people say, jim, why don't

mr. mcdermott: mr. speaker, his 51st attempt to repeal the a.c.a. by stopping the individual mandate is part of the long-term propaganda campaign done by the publicans to destroy the health care plan that the president put together. now, they know that we agree on the policy. everybody here agrees on the policy, but they put a poison pill in it. they knew that this amendment of how to pay for it, that is by delaying the mandate, would kill any democratic support in the house. so they have no intention of passing this bill. this bill is directed at the propaganda campaign to the people at -- that's koch brothers and at fox news and anybody who's watching this should -- will get the idea that somehow it's a bad bill. now, the fact is that people are benefiting every single day. the aarp, the american medical association have denounced this bill because they want the s.g.r., the doctors payment reform, to go through and they know that the republicans have designed this to fail. now, a mandate that has been supported, even by the tea party before the te

mr. mcdermott? >> take a breath. your budget contained several proposals for actual reforms to medicare, all of which will increase the cost for beneficiaries. what i do not see in your budget is medicare reforms that ask dividers and pharmaceutical companies to share in the pain. frankly, that concerns me. theink they ought to share pain between the providers and those who benefit from medicare. as you know the and fisheries and a disproportionate share of their income on health care compared to those others under age 65. medicare patients pay more. i understand these proposals, while the concern we were put into the budget is a part of a so-called big bold balanced-budget deficit reduction plan, one that calls for sire advice -- shared sacrifice among retired americans. let me ask this question. completely seems to be around here is much different is that you can cherry pick those medicare reforms here and one there such as low hanging fruit as a way to offset or pay for sgr. my republican colleagues have been talk

mcdermott, and is expected to call for no cuts to social security, universal prekindergarten education, investment in job training and manufacturing hubs, and closing corporate tax loopholes. that's a much different projection than what mr. ryan has come out with. >> that's a view for the 21st century, al. ryan is looking back to the 1900s when people were serfs. but he doesn't want to look at what the president is doing. he won't even give that bill a hearing, i guarantee you. >> it's true. >> congressman jim mcdermott and joan walsh, i'm going to have to leave it there. thank you both for your time tonight. >> thanks, rev. >> good night. >>> coming up, where is the unity? in the face of an international crisis in russia, some on the right are attacking the president. shouldn't politics stop at the water's edge? >>> plus, why might marissa alexander get 60 years in prison for a warning shot? i'm in florida tonight where calls are growing to repeal the shoot first stand your ground law. >>> plus, historic night.
