Madam Speaker, just within the past hour, Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana addressed the Congressional Health Care Caucus. He gave us some particular insights as to what's been happening in his State of Indiana with regards to health care costs. But, in particular, he expressed how distressed he was over the health care bill that the Democrats passed in March. He described it as a "lost opportunity of historic proportions that perpetuates and extends the problems of the existing system." I couldn't agree more.

Rep. Burgess delivered a 1-minute speech on the House floor outlining the negative effect health care reform will have on American businesses: Mr. Speaker, tomorrow we were to have a hearing in my Committee on Energy and Commerce about the companies in the United States that restated their earnings as a result of us passing the misguided health care bill last month. These companies were performing under requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and under the Federal Accounting Standards Board.
