                               OBAMACARE

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I will briefly comment on my friend the 
Republican leader further trying to come to the floor once again to try 
to minimize the disastrous attacks on ObamaCare.
  The House has voted 57 times to repeal that law. Each time, the 
result is the same. As Albert Einstein said, the definition of insanity 
is someone who does something over and over again and gets the same 
results. So it is insane what they have done in the House, and it is 
really insane what they are trying to do here in the Senate.
  There is no question about the case before the U.S. Supreme Court. 
The language is clear. Almost 10 million people will lose health 
insurance. And we have seen in the press the last few days that very 
terrible things would happen to families if they lost their health 
care. What my friend the Republican leader is talking about doing is 
turning it back to the insurance industry. If you had a preexisting 
disability, no insurance. They set arbitrary limits as to how much they 
would pay. It was a time of dread for families who were trying to 
insure their boys and girls, mothers and fathers.
  So I hope the Supreme Court will listen to the will of the American 
people and the will of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives 
which passed this law. We all knew the intent of Congress. We still do. 
The law is very clear, and the Supreme Court should follow the law.
  Mr. President, will the Chair announce the business of the day.
