mr. nugent. mr. nugent: mr. speaker, may i inquire ofy friend from florida how many speakers he has? mr. hastings: madam speaker, would you advise both of us how much time each has? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida has six minutes remaining. the gentleman from florida, mr. nugent, has 14 minutes. mr. hastings: i have more speakers than i have time but i know that during that period of time that i'm going to have at least two more speakers and possibly three. mr. nugent: i'll continue to reserve. mr. hastings: i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentleman from oregon, mr. good friend, mr. defazio. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oregon is recognized for two minutes. mr. defazio: repeal and replace, at's what th republicans said they'd do. what's the replacement? apparently it's the ryan voucher plan whichwill stick it to seniors in the future. not too good of a replacement. but the other thing they're repealing that they don't want talk about is the repealing restrict

mr. nugent. mr. nugent: madam speaker, i'd like to have my fellow member of the rules committee, freshman, rob woodall from georgia, and give him three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for three minutes. mr. woodall: madam speaker, i very much appreciate that and i thank my colleague on the rules committee for yielding. i want to come down here and talk about the rule, my colleague from florida's just made a very impassioned case for why he is likely going to be voting no on the underlying legislation. if i understood his comments correctly, i'm guessing that it's going to be a no vote after we have finished six hours of debate on this bill. six hours of debate. which is the kind of debate that a bill of this nature demands. and i'm very proud that the rules committee set aside that kind of time. now, i was fortunate enough to have one of my amendments made in order by the rules committee, as was my friend from florida, but a lot of members were not and i want

mr. nugent, my colleague. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for four minutes. mr. nugent: i want to thank my friend for florida and fellow rules committee member to allow me to speak today on behalf of this. you know, it's interesting to stand up here and listen to what comes across from the other side. they talk about the f.a.a. bill. that's a bill that while they were in control of this area since 2007. there was not a re-authorization of that bill until this year, until the 112th congress came into power that we now have a four-year re-authorization of the faumplet bill that sat over on the -- f.a.a. bill that sat over on the side since they had control of the house since 2007. no action other than just temporary fixes. and the same goes with now with this bill today in regards to transportation. they want you to believe that the senate passed this great bill out of the senate, a two-year fix. well, let me tell you, mr. speaker, a two-year fix in this industry is like nothing at all. and speaking with developers, road construction folks in my state, they said a s

mr. nugent: madam speaker, i rise today in support of this rule, house resolution in front of you. house resolution provides a structured rule so that the house may consider h.r. 5, the health efficient accessible low cost timely health care act of 2011. the rule provides for six hours of debate on this vital issue. six hours, madam speaker. in my opinion the health act is one of the most imperative piece of legislation to come to the house, to the floor of the house in the 112th congress thus far. the bill repeals a particularly egregious part of government takeover of health care. the independent payment advisory board, or ipab. in case you are aware, ipab is the 15-member panel created by obamacare created to reign in costs. they are un-elected bureaucrats, 15 of them, the majority are not doctors and the decision also have the force of law and go into effect automatically without the consent of congress. we'll get back to ipab in a moment. h.r. 5 also implements long needed medical malpractice tort reform. i hear all the time we need to bring down the cost of health care. my co
