  (Ms. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, there are some very troubling aspects to the 
Clinton health care plan.
  It appears to me, for example, that it will obliterate the private 
practice of medicine in this country. By setting price controls and 
prohibiting private health care transactions, the old-fashioned family 
doctor is in danger of disappearing from the American landscape.
  In fact, doctors joke about the creation of offshore practices, of 
hospital ships anchored outside the 3-mile limit where people can 
freely buy the health care they need but cannot get under the Clinton 
proposal.
  I believe we should sink the Clinton health care plan before it 
swamps our own individual health care choices. We do not need 
Government-run health care, Mr. Speaker. What we do need is to make 
private-run health care portable, affordable, and available for all 
Americans.
