chu: mr. speaker, i rise today in opposition to the patients rights repeal act. doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting a different result? that's insanity. this week house republicans are trying to repeal the affordable care act for the 37th time. 37 failed attempts weren't enough? more than 105 americans have arbitrary lifetime coverage caps lifted because of this law. up to 17 million children with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied coverage. and more than 6.5 million children up to the ages of 26 now have coverage on their parents' plan. about half of whom would otherwise be uninsured. why would anyone want to roll all of this back? why would anyone waste 43 days as republicans have done so far to repeal a bill that does so much for the american people? it's not smart. it's not logical. more importantly, it's not right. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. burgess: i'd now like to yield one minute to the gentleman from texas, mr. culberson. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas i

mr. tonko, i'm pleased that at least an amendment i offer with ms. chu of california and mr. connolly of virginia was made in order this amendment would require the government accountability office to evaluate the true cost of a potential spill from the keystone x.l. pipeline in our community thesms g.a.o. study would look at the impact of tar sands spills on public health, the environment and the quality and quality of -- and the quantity and quality of water available for agriculture. it's inevitable that the keystone x.l. will have spills and leaks. these are not only costly to clean up and we need to know and understand those costs, but they take a toll on our communities. understanding the cost of spills is also important because the keystone pipeline is slated to go over the oglalla aquifer which lies beneath eight states and supplies drinking water to about two million americans and supplies 30% of the irrigation water for the nation's farmers. transcanada stated it will provide alternative water supplies to affected communities if an oil spill impacts surface or groun
