           By Mr. PRICE of Georgia:
       H.R. 1700.
       Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       The Fifth Amendment provides that no person shall be 
     deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process 
     of law. This bill ensures that the rights of Medicare 
     beneficiaries to independently contract are not infringed by 
     the federal government.
