            By Mr. PRICE of Georgia:
        H.R. 1717.
        Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant 
     to the following:
       Current law has created a health care program called 
     Medicare that is operated by the federal government. This 
     bill would improve the efficiency and fairness of the 
     operation of parts of that program, especially the purchase 
     of goods and services, while affecting interstate commerce, 
     which Congress has the power to regulate under Article I, 
     Section 8, Clause 3.
