              LET US ADOPT THE REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE PLAN

  (Mr. LINDER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LINDER. Mr. Speaker, let us see. We will not get to choose our 
own doctors. And it is going to cost more. Doesn't sound too good, does 
it?
  But wait. It gets worse. Tens of thousands of new, Government health 
care bureaucrats come with the deal.
  And a job-killing payroll tax gets slapped on American businesses.
  And nobody in the Clinton administration seems to have the slightest 
clue as to what the long-range cost to the American taxpayers is going 
to be.
  That is President Clinton's government-run health care proposal in a 
nutshell.
  Mr. Speaker, I just want to reiterate that Republicans have offered 
an alternative to socialized medicine. The Michel plan contains no new 
taxes. It comes without the bureaucrats. And it preserves the 
individual choice which is so important to every American family.
  Let us not do something we will all regret for a long time to come. 
Let us reject the Clinton Government-run health care plan and adopt the 
Michel alternative.
