welch: mr. speaker, i support this bill. it's really two issues at stake. one is preserving the integrity of the a.c.a. the obama health care bill. there's huge division in this congress as to whether that bill should have been passed. it was passed. there's unity of purpose now where there is an identified problem we should fix it rather than just have the ideological battle about whether the law should have been passed in the first place. that's actual progress, because as my friend from pennsylvania said, there's a legitimate expectation on the part of the people we represent to solve concrete, discreet problems when in the solving of them we're going to keep 1200 people working. and that's -- 1,200 people working and that's the real goal of this. those that agree with the health care bill and those that disagreed with it can come together with a narrow fix that allows 1,200 people, 500 in delaware and 700 in other parts of the country to keep doing their work. of course we can. there's a second question that's come up and that is whether this bill right
