The slimmed-down version was stripped of language that would have allowed children with relapsed cancer to undergo treatments with a combination of cancer drugs and therapies. (Currently the Food and Drug Administration is only authorized to direct pediatric cancer trials of single drugs.)

In an impassioned tirade, Roy accused his Republican colleagues of abandoning fiscal responsibility, yelling, "You've added to the debt since you were given the majority again on November 5th. It's embarrassing. It's shameful."
He didn't stop there, shredding the proposed bill for its $5 trillion increase to the national debt. "Yes, I think this bill is better than it was yesterday in certain respects. But to take this bill yesterday and congratulate yourself because it's shorter in pages, but increases the debt by $5 trillion is asinine," he said.
"I am absolutely sickened by a party that campaigns on fiscal responsibility and has the temerity to go forward to the American people and say you think this is fiscally responsible," Roy continued. "It is absolutely ridiculous." ...
