CLINTON'S HEALTH CARE PLAN
(Mr. BOEHNER asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues, the jury is in on the
Clinton health care bill. The American people have spoken loudly and
clearly, and it is time to proclaim the Clinton health care bill as
dead.
{time} 1420
That is d-e-a-d, dead. Why? Because the American people do not want
the Government to take control of the Nation's health care system. The
American people do not want to pay more and get less when it comes to
health care.
Third, the American people do not want to pay higher taxes, so that
we can try to fix what is not wrong with America's health care system.
It is time to give this health care bill from the President a proper
burial, a funeral. Let us bless it and let us move on with a real
debate about how we can fix the problems in today's health care system
without throwing out the baby with the bath water.
