reminded me of why it was so important that we not give up, who reminded me why we could not quit. i heard from ryan smith who's here today, and runs a small business with five employees, he's trying to do the right thing, paying for half of the costs of coverage for his workers. but as his premiums keep on going up and up and up, he's worried he's going to have to stop offering health care for his people. but because of this bill, he's now going to be getting tax credits that allow him to do what he knows the right thing to do, and that is going to be true for millions of employers all across america. i heard the story of 11-year-old marcellus owens who's right here, looking sharp.
