There is decorum here as well.
  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance
of my time.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that you were talking about the President of the
United States, Donald J. Trump, who has done something that will
probably never be done again in the history of the country.
  He has been elected in 2016 and 2024.
  I want to say this as we talk about healthcare and health insurance
and the other things.
  This side of the aisle recognizes there are problems, and this side
of the aisle recognizes that the only way to fix those problems is to
repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Now, the other side of the
aisle thinks that they did a perfect job.
  Now, let me tell you something, Mr. Speaker. Before the Affordable
Care Act went into place, UnitedHealth Group was trending at $28 a
share. Today it is $415 a share, and that is after about a $140-a-share
drop.
  The only thing the Affordable Care Act did was make a bunch of health
insurance executives rich. They are not paying their claims today.
  One thing we could do, and I wish we would do, is to give the State
insurance commissioners the authority to step in and make them pay
their claims.
  I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, my local hospital has about $15 million
outstanding with the UnitedHealth Group. It is a small hospital, $15
million; a big company, a small hospital. I don't know if my hospital
will ever get paid.
  That is not what this one is about, Mr. Speaker. This week the House
can advance four pieces of legislation under this rule. It is about
H.R. 8800, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2027.
It authorizes a historic $1.15 trillion to rebuild the American defense
industrial base and arsenal.
  This act implements the Peace Through Strength agenda and restores
lethality to our armed forces by investing in modernization and
multiyear procurement for weapons systems production to deter our
adversaries.
  It also makes a significant investment in the quality of life of our
servicemembers and retention opportunities.
  The fiscal year 2027 NDAA reforms key programs and saves taxpayer
dollars resulting in a ready, capable, and lethal fighting force.
  This legislation will deter China and counter Russia, North Korea,
Iran, and foreign terrorist organizations while leveraging our
alliances across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
  Finally, this act strengthens our nuclear deterrence, prioritizes the
Golden Dome, and grows our Nation's strategic space capabilities.
  This is bipartisan, must-pass legislation that every one of my
colleagues should support.
  Additionally, H.R. 8595, the National Security, Department of State,
and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2027 delivers on an America
First foreign policy agenda.
  This protects our allies, confronts our adversaries, cuts waste, and
puts American national interests first. It strengthens embassy
security, fights fentanyl, defunds radical programs, and ensures every
dollar advances American security and prosperity.
  Further, H.R. 8884, the Removing Barriers to Work for Disabled
American Act, allows the Social Security Administration to test new
approaches on a voluntary basis and without impacting the participants'
overall income to ensure Americans with disabilities are not punished
for returning to the workforce.
  Finally, H. Res. 1383, Commemorating the One-Year Anniversary of the
Enactment of the Working Families Tax Cuts, highlights the largest tax
reform passed by Congress in decades, making permanent the tax cuts
passed under the first Trump administration, and ensuring a tax cut for
over 140 million Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in voting ``yes'' on the
previous question and ``yes'' on the rule.
  The material previously referred to by Mr. McGovern is as follows:

 An Amendment To H. Res. 1398 Offered By Mr. McGovern of Massachusetts
