                          PATIENT FREEDOM ACT

  Mr. CASSIDY. I wish to say briefly that I thank Senator Collins for 
her thoughtful review of the Patient Freedom Act, who after our office 
has probably reviewed it the most and made several substantial changes 
that have made it better. I also thank her for her speech, which was a 
very thoughtful critique of why we are replacing ObamaCare--not because 
it is the President's bill but because of things that she described, 
where people have an incentive not to earn more money and a penalty if 
they do, which goes against the American values that if you work hard 
you can be more successful.
  It should not be that the Federal Government is discouraging that. I 
thank her for her thoughtful speech, her thoughtful comments, and her 
great input into the final product.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.
