 IF YOU LIKE YOUR DOCTORS, YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DOCTORS, BUT WE WON'T PAY 
                                  THEM

  (Mr. BURGESS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, just late last week there was a news story 
that healthcare.gov was still not finished. The back-end portion, the 
part that deals with payments to doctors and hospitals, still has not 
been constructed.
  Now, that was odd because just the week before the President held a 
big press conference down at the White House and said, Mission 
accomplished; everything we wanted to do has been done.
  Well, how do you reconcile these discrepancies? What, in fact, is the 
timeline for this to be accomplished?
  Mission accomplished: the patients, the doctors, and the hospitals 
who are going to end up the ones on the hook for these payments that 
are not going to be received, I wonder if they feel the same way.
