                          THERE THEY GO AGAIN

  (Mr. GEJDENSON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GEJDENSON. Mr. Speaker, I think it was a recent President who 
used this line first, ``But there they go again.''
  The party that was against Social Security, against Medicare, is now 
against health care reform. Ask me why I am not surprised.
  Their coalition with the economic powerful interests in this country 
once again thinks that it is wrong for America to take a step forward. 
They are going and they are doing it again. They are taking the special 
interests, they are joining up with them, and they are fighting what is 
best for America.
  They said the same kinds of silly things when they fought Social 
Security. They did it again when we provided Medicare for our senior 
citizens, and now when we are trying to provide uninterruptible, 
guaranteed medical health care for every American, they are on the 
attack again telling us we do not need it.
  They were wrong on Social Security, they were wrong on Medicare, and 
they are wrong that there is no medical crisis in America.
  We need to have health care that you cannot lose, that you cannot be 
precluded from getting because you have a member of your family with an 
illness and that you cannot lose when you lose your job. We need to 
support this President in his effort to make health care coverage 
universal.
