                              {time}  1603

  So the amendment was rejected.
  The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
  Stated against:
  Mr. FINCHER. Madam Chair, on rollcall No. 288, I was unavoidably 
detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``no.''
  The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
  Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Ms. 
Foxx) having assumed the chair, Mrs. Myrick, Acting Chair of the 
Committee of the Whole House on the state of the Union, reported that 
that Committee, having had under consideration the bill (H.R. 1214) to 
repeal mandatory funding for school-based health center construction, 
and, pursuant to House Resolution 236, reported the bill back to the 
House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is 
ordered.
  The question is on the engrossment and third reading of the bill.
  The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was 
read the third time.


                           Motion to Recommit

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Madam Speaker, I have a motion to recommit 
at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. I am, in its current form.
  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I reserve a point of order.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. A point of order is reserved.
  The Clerk will report the motion to recommit.
  The Clerk read as follows:

       Mrs. McCarthy of New York moves to recommit the bill H.R. 
     1214 to the Committee on Energy and Commerce with 
     instructions to report the same to the House forthwith with 
     the following amendment:
       In section 1, add at the end the following:
       (c) Publication of Names and Locations of Applicants Who 
     Will Not Receive Grants.--Not later than 30 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health 
     and Human Services shall publish on the public Website of the 
     Department of Health and Human Services the names and 
     locations of each school-based health center or sponsoring 
     facility that has an application for a grant under section 
     4101(a) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (42 
     U.S.C. 280h-4) pending at the time of the repeal of such 
     section 4101(a) by this Act.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the rule, the gentlewoman from 
New York is recognized for 5 minutes in support of her motion.
  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to offer a 
motion to recommit to this misguided bill.
  It is important to note that this motion is simply a final amendment 
to the bill and will not kill the bill as the majority may claim.
  School-based health centers are on the front lines of preventative 
care, and preventative care saves lives and saves money, and school-
based centers are on the front lines of preventative care.
  As a nurse for over 30 years, I know that prevention can keep people 
out of the emergency rooms that taxpayers help fund, and it keeps them 
from needing expensive procedures and medicines that drive up insurance 
costs.
  Patients seen at school-based centers, for example, cost Medicaid an 
average of $30 less than comparable nonschool-based health center 
patients. School-based health centers play an important role in 
treating sports concussions and halting the spread of infectious 
diseases like the flu.
  School-based centers also have a positive effect on our educational 
system. They have been shown to increase academic performance and 
reduce absenteeism. For example, a recent study found that students who 
use high school health centers had a 50 percent reduction in 
absenteeism and 25 percent reduction in lateness. Many students also 
increased their grade point averages over time compared to students who 
did not use school-based health centers.
  Finally, the sad fact is sometimes these centers are a student's only 
source of health care. So, we are faced today with legislation that 
attacks the preventative health care work done by our school-based 
health centers. H.R. 1214 is an upsetting piece of legislation, but 
that's not surprising at all. After all, this bill is coming from the 
same conference that just voted to end Medicare as we know it.
  Both the Republican budget and this legislation today are penny-wise 
and pound-foolish approaches that cut preventative care for those 
Americans who need it the most. And the worst common denominator? Both 
measures go against the most honorable Americans: the elderly and the 
children. The Republican majority passed a reckless budget before the 
recess, and they are poised to pass this reckless piece of legislation 
today.
  I offer this motion to recommit today to highlight the terrible 
impacts of the Republican approach in this legislation. This motion to 
recommit is simply, again, a final amendment and will not kill the 
bill.
  My motion to recommit requires the names and locations of each 
school-based health center that has applied for a grant under the 
program that the Republican Party would end today be posted on a 
publicly available Web site.

                              {time}  1610

  This way, we will be able to all see very clearly the damage that 
this Republican proposal will cause.
  Like many of my colleagues, a school-based health center in my 
district would be denied funding under this bill. One of my hospitals 
in my district, Winthrop University Hospital, has been partnering with 
Hempstead High School to run a school-based health center. This school-
based health center has 1,500 students enrolled and has 6,000 visits 
from students each year.
  Winthrop University's partnership operates in one of my most 
underserved communities. About 50 percent of students who use this 
school-based health center are uninsured. Let me say that again: Nearly 
half of all students who use this health center are uninsured. 
Hempstead High School is the only access to medical care that they 
have. The grant that this center applied for will help them serve this 
population who has nowhere else to turn. I am going to stand with those 
students and their families and protect the Winthrop-Hempstead High 
School health center. I hope that other Members will choose to stand 
with their constituents as well.
  Should this bill become law, those Members who voted for this bill 
will have to answer to their communities who would have a vital link to 
health care cut off. I should also note some misinformation that's 
being spread by the supporters of H.R. 1214. They claim that these 
grants aren't needed because they are readily available in other 
sources, but that's not true. The evidence is that SBHC construction 
and renovation needs have not been met through other funding. My 
colleagues across the aisle also claim that construction funds would be 
provided to centers that aren't sustainable. That's also not true. 
Guidelines have been developed by the Health Resources and Services 
Administration to ensure that no construction funds will be provided to 
any school-based health center that cannot document that they are 
sustainable now and into the future.
  As I said, ladies and gentlemen, school-based health centers work. 
They keep our young people healthy and successful in school, and they 
do it in a way that saves our taxpayers money. It is just common sense 
to support school-based centers. Again, this amendment will not kill 
the bill. This motion to recommit is simply a final amendment to the 
bill that will provide transparency to the process. I urge all Members 
to support this motion to recommit.
  I yield back the balance of my time.
  Mr. BURGESS. Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the motion to 
recommit.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does the gentleman continue to reserve his 
point of order?
  Mr. BURGESS. I will withdraw my reservation.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The reservation is withdrawn.
  The gentleman from Texas is recognized for 5 minutes.

[[Page 6656]]


  Mr. BURGESS. It's an interesting little motion to recommit, described 
as being benign and not changing the overall nature of the underlying 
legislation. So benign is the motion to recommit that it descends into 
the realm of being superfluous and unnecessary. It is a motion to 
recommit to publish the names and locations of applicants who will not 
receive grants.
  Now, look, just from this, we won't know if those grants that were 
not approved were just simply poorly drafted. We already have a health 
care law that was poorly drafted, so we know it is within the realm of 
someone working in the Federal Government to poorly draft an 
application for a school-based clinic.
  Washington's addiction to spending has become crystal clear to the 
American people, and the passage of this massive health care law by 
President Obama last year is exhibit A. Of the thousands of problems in 
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the underlying bill, 
H.R. 1214, addresses but one of them and a very small one at that. The 
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act provides $200 million in 
mandatory funding for the construction of school-based health centers. 
The bill eliminates this funding as our Nation faces a mounting deficit 
and debt crisis.
  Funding for school-based health center construction may be a good 
idea. Maybe it's not a good idea. Maybe we should have that debate, 
which we didn't in the run-up to the passage of this bill. But the 
111th Congress, the last Congress, did not think about it before they 
threw literally $200 million at the program.
  And, Madam Speaker, I would just point out, out of all of the so-
called ``cut'' bills that are to remove the advanced appropriations in 
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, out of all of those 
bills that remove advanced appropriations, it is this small little bill 
that has not drawn a veto threat from the White House. Madam Speaker, 
that leads me to believe that the President himself was embarrassed 
about the language that was included in the bill on this point; and the 
White House, now recognizing that, is not about to go out on a limb and 
issue a veto threat against this bill.
  The motion to recommit, brought forward by the other side, shows they 
simply do not realize that we have a spending problem in Washington, 
D.C. Congress should examine if there is a need for a program, and 
through regular order, rather than rushing to authorize or appropriate 
dollars in a feel-good piece of legislation. We hear about standing 
with the American families. How about standing with those American 
families that actually pay taxes to the Federal Government for a 
change?
  I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' on the motion to recommit, 
``yes'' on the underlying bill. Let's get our fiscal house back in 
order.
  Mr. BURGESS. I yield back the balance of my time.


                Announcement by the Speaker Pro Tempore
