A year between their employer and themselves to be able to go to an insurance company and be told that they can't get care.
So, if we want to transform this country, reduce the deficits, give the president what he needs to secure the border, and give us health care freedom.
And that's my call to my colleagues.
And with that, I yield back.

Pursuant to clause 13 of Rule 1, the House stands adjourned until 9 a.m. tomorrow.
Today in the U.S. House, members passed legislation to reduce wildfire risks and improve forest management.
They also approved a measure calling for medical care for a child born after a failed abortion.
Both of those bills now head to the U.S. Senate for consideration.
And next week, House Republicans will hold their annual policy retreat at President Trump's Golf Club in Dural, Florida, near Miami.
We'll bring you live coverage of the House when members return here on C-SPAN.
House Speaker Mike Johnson signed the Lake and Riley Act, named after a Georgia nursing student who was murdered last year by an illegal immigrant.
The bill authorized detainment of unauthorized immigrants accused of minor to major crimes.
46 Democrats joined all Republicans in the House voting in favor, 263 to 156.
It also passed in the Senate 64 to 35, with 12 Democrats voting with all Republicans.
It's expected to be the first bill signed into law by President Trump in his new term.
