                          TODAY IS A GREAT DAY

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, today is a great day. It's a great day for 
children who want to stay on their parents' health insurance until 
they're 26--or parents who want their children on their health 
insurance until they're 26. It's a great day for seniors that are 
concerned about the doughnut hole, for women who have been 
discriminated against in health care, for all people who don't want to 
have copays for preventative care. It's a great day for people who 
don't want lifetime caps on their insurance or to be denied because of 
preexisting conditions. And it's a great day for America because the 
rule of law has been upheld.
  Justice Roberts rightfully ruled that this was appropriate and 
constitutional. Let us not forget Justices Ginsburg and Sotomayor and 
Kagan and Breyer, the five Justices who upheld the Supreme Court belief 
that the American people have that it is a rule of law and that the 
Court is not political.
  It was a great day for American health care and for American law and 
jurisprudence.
