there are many reasons to oppose puerto rico's territory status, which is unequal, undemocratic and un-american. one of the most important reasons why puerto rico must discard this status in favor of either statehood or nationhood is because the current status has failed and will continue to fail to provide the island's 3.6 million american citizens with the economic opportunities and the quality of life they deserve. those who refuse to acknowledge this fundamental truth for ideological reasons are doing a great disservice to the people of puerto rico. they are on the wrong side of history. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. hompson, for five minutes. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, there's been much documented and published about the problems resulting from the affordable care act. millions of americans are waking up to the cancellation of health insurance policies and -- that they've depended on to meet their family's needs at an affordable price. skyrocketing premiums and deductible increases under the pressures o
