SEC. 507. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING AFFORDABLE 
HEALTH COVERAGE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The House finds the following: 
(1) More than 46 million Americans, including 
nine million children, lack health insurance. People 
without health insurance are more likely to experi-
ence problems getting medical care and to be hos-
pitalized for avoidable health problems. 
(2) Most Americans receive health coverage 
through their employers. A major issue facing all 
employers is the rising cost of health insurance. 
Small businesses, which have generated most of the 
new jobs annually over the last decade, have an es-
pecially difficult time affording health coverage, due 
to higher administrative costs and fewer people over 
whom to spread the risk of catastrophic costs. Be-
cause it is especially costly for small businesses to 
provide health coverage, their employees make up a 
large proportion of the nation’s uninsured individ-
uals. 
(b) SENSE OF THE HOUSE.—It is the sense of the 
House that legislation consistent with the pay-as-you-go 
principle should be adopted that makes health insurance 
more affordable and accessible, with attention to the spe-
cial needs of small businesses, and that lowers costs and 
improves the quality of health care by encouraging inte-

gration of health information technology tools into the 
practice of medicine, and promoting improvements in dis-
ease management and disease prevention. 
SEC. 508. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING EXTENSION 
OF THE STATUTORY PAY-AS-YOU-GO RULE. 
It is the sense of the House that in order to reduce 
the deficit Congress should extend PAYGO in its original 
form in the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. 
SEC. 509. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON LONG-TERM BUDG-
ETING. 
It is the sense of Congress that the determination of 
the congressional budget for the United States Govern-
ment and the President’s budget request should include 
consideration of the Financial Report of the United States 
Government, especially its information regarding the Gov-
ernment’s net operating cost, financial position, and long- 
term liabilities. 
SEC. 510. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING PAY PARITY. 
It is the sense of the House that rates of compensa-
tion for civilian employees of the United States should be 
adjusted at the same time, and in the same proportion, 
as are rates of compensation for members of the uni-
formed services.

SEC. 511. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING WASTE, 
FRAUD, AND ABUSE. 
It is the sense of the House that all committees 
should examine programs within their jurisdiction to iden-
tify wasteful and fraudulent spending. To this end, section 
301 of this resolution includes cap adjustments to provide 
appropriations for three programs that accounted for a 
significant share of improper payments reported by Fed-
eral agencies in 2006: Social Security Administration Con-
tinuing Disability Reviews, the Medicare/Medicaid Health 
Care Fraud and Abuse Control Program, and Unemploy-
ment Insurance. Section 301 also includes a cap adjust-
ment for the Internal Revenue Services for tax compliance 
efforts to close the $300,000,000,000 tax gap. In addition, 
the resolution’s deficit-neutral reserve funds require au-
thorizing committees to cut lower priority and wasteful 
spending to accommodate new high-priority entitlement 
benefits. Finally, section 301 of the resolution directs all 
committees to review the performance of programs within 
their jurisdiction and report recommendations annually to 
the Committee on the Budget as part of the views and 
estimates process required by section 301(d) of the Con-
gressional Budget Act. 
SEC. 512. SENSE OF THE HOUSE REGARDING THE IMPOR-
TANCE OF CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT. 
It is the sense of the House that—

(1) additional legislative action is needed to en-
sure that States have the necessary resources to col-
lect all child support that is owed to families and to 
allow them to pass 100 percent of support on to 
families without financial penalty; and 
(2) when 100 percent of child support payments 
are passed to the child, rather than administrative 
expenses, program integrity is improved and child 
support participation increases. 
SEC. 513. SENSE OF THE HOUSE ON STATE VETERANS 
CEMETERIES. 
It is the sense of the House that the Federal Govern-
ment should pay the plot allowance for the interment in 
a State veterans cemetery of any spouse or eligible child 
of a veteran, consistent with the pay-as-you-go principle.
