1 minute.)
  Mr. YARMUTH. Mr. Speaker, during the debate on the health care reform 
act, the Affordable Care Act, we continued to hear cries of ``read the 
bill, read the bill, read the bill,'' as if those of us who had 
supported the bill had not read it. As a matter of fact, I, among many, 
had read it; and we were astounded at the misrepresentations that were

I implore my Republican colleagues, before they continue to mislead and 
confuse their constituents, read the law. Read the law. Read the law.
