                       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.
