               LET US APPROVE THE MICHEL HEALTH CARE PLAN

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, President Clinton's new health plan will 
spawn 105 new bureaucracies, expand 40 more existing bureaucracies, 
crush the American people with scores of new tax burdens, and promote 
more than 100 new regulations to muddle an already fuzzy health care 
system.
  If that is what the President has in store for the sick people of 
America, I hate to see what he has up his sleeve for the healthy 
people.
  While we may all have disagreements with our insurance carriers, I 
would rather work mine out with the local insurance agent or through my 
employer than through a Federal bureaucrat in Washington, DC. The 
answer, if you ask most people, would be undebatable, ``Yes, I want the 
current system.''
  Let us do what is best for our families. Let us approve the Michel 
health care plan.
