Mr. SPACE. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 3663, legislation that I introduced with my friend, Mr. Terry from Nebraska, which will delay implementation of accreditation requirements imposed on America's pharmacies who offer service to Medicare beneficiaries. I think that my colleague from Nebraska as well as my colleague, Chairman Pallone from New Jersey, have done an ample job explaining the predicament that we find ourselves in with regards to the accreditation and surety bond requirements that will be imposed effective tomorrow. Certainly, I would like to extend my gratitude to Chairman Waxman, Ranking Member Barton, of course Chairman Pallone, and others as well for their assistance in providing us with a prompt forum for consideration. What I would like to do is spend just a moment explaining what the implications of failure to act may be on the millions of Medicare beneficiaries across the country. Ohio's 18th Congressional District is an entirely rural part of the country. Some of our counties, Morgan County, Ohio, for example, is served by one pharmacist, one pharmacy in the entire county. If that pharmacy, as an example, were to lose its ability to provide things like diabetic test strips to its patients, those patients would be required to drive up to an hour just to get to a pharmacy where they sell those. The net effect of that would be that people will not be able to buy diabetic test strips, people that need them desperately. One of the issues that has been lost in the ongoing debate regarding health care reform in this country has been the challenges that rural America faces in accessing adequate health care. As is the case with so many other issues, whether it be access to technology, access to education, access to infrastructure, we in rural America suffer from a lack of access to health care. We cannot afford to suffer any further, and this legislation will help overcome one of those challenges. So I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for prompt passage today. I think it's also worth noting that this issue is addressed in H.R. 3200; but because of this House's intent to thoroughly deliberate that legislation, we've not been able to see passage to this point. I look forward to working with my colleague from Nebraska and my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in resolving this issue promptly.
