                            FIXING MEDICARE

  (Mr. GINGREY of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, you've heard on our side of the 
aisle this morning a number of Members talk about saving Medicare and 
protecting our precious seniors. What we're wanting to save them from 
is the most egregious aspect of ObamaCare, and that's called the IPAB 
law, which is the 15-member bureaucrat agency that's going to actually 
come between a doctor and his or her patient and interfere with that 
sacrosanct doctor-patient relationship and make decisions to cut and 
slash their Medicare opportunity to see their doctors.
  This is not the way to fix Medicare, Mr. Speaker. We know how to fix 
Medicare, and we will talk about that in our budget this year as we did 
last year, but we must strike down this egregious section of this 
2,700-page bill. And we will do that this week.
