                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Congress should pass any 
health care reform initiative that has overwhelming bipartisan support.

Whereas 31 to 37 million Americans do not have adequate health care coverage;
Whereas, every day, Americans who have health care coverage fear they might lose 
        such coverage due to a sudden catastrophic illness or change in 
        employment;
Whereas the skyrocketing costs of health care jeopardize the current and future 
        accessibility of health care for millions of Americans;
Whereas physicians must practice medicine in constant fear of excessive 
        malpractice lawsuits being brought against them for providing treatment 
        to patients;
Whereas fraud and abuse in the health care system are running rampant and 
        American taxpayers are losing billions of dollars from such fraud and 
        abuse;
Whereas the American public is demanding action on health care reform and cannot 
        wait any longer for the Congress to act; and
Whereas partisanship must not stand in the way of progress in health care 
        reform: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the leaderships of the House of Representatives and the Senate 
should work together in a bipartisan manner to pass any health care 
reform initiative that has overwhelming bipartisan support.
