                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of the Congress that any Federal Government 
            mandated health care reform should be on-budget.

Whereas the administration's proposed health care reform plan would constitute 
        the largest expansion of Federal entitlements in history;
Whereas the proposed health care premiums would be mandatory taxes;
Whereas the administration's proposed health care reform plan would constitute a 
        massive tax increase;
Whereas the cost of any health care reform plan that is kept off-budget would be 
        difficult to control and account for;
Whereas placing health care reform off-budget means that it would be exempt from 
        annual budget reviews and would have no meaningful restraints on growth;
Whereas the Office of Management and Budget's own risk tables and past and 
        present entitlement growth trends show that the administration's 
        proposed health care reform plan could increase Federal budget deficits 
        by up to $800,000,000,000 by the year 2000;
Whereas the Federal Government has already run up massive unfunded liabilities 
        outside the budget process; and
Whereas the attempt to place the health care reform plan off-budget is a move to 
        hide the true cost of the plan from the American public: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That it is the sense of the Congress that any Federal Government 
mandated health care reform should be on-budget.
