  BIG GOVERNMENT THREATENS MEDICAL SYSTEM WITH HEALTH CARE LEGISLATION

  (Mr. DUNCAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DUNCAN. Mr. Speaker, liberals gave us Medicaid. They told us it 
was great.
  Now they tell us it is a horrible system that should be abolished.
  Before the Federal Government got into our medical system, almost 
everyone could afford good medical care.
  If the Federal Government gets further into health care, soon no one 
will be able to afford it.
  I have heard it said, ``If you think health care is expensive now, 
wait until its free.''
  Big government liberals have already destroyed thousands of small 
businesses and millions of jobs through over-regulation and excessive 
taxation.
  Their excesses have driven up the prices of homes and cars to where 
they are making it almost impossible for the average consumer to buy 
either.
  Big government liberalism hurts the poor and working people worst of 
all.
  The formula is very simple: More government equals higher prices; 
less government equals lower prices.
  Big government has destroyed lives all over this world, and big 
government liberals are slowly destroying the American dream, too.
  It is not a conspiracy; it is just a fact that the bigger government 
becomes, the worse life becomes for those who do not work for the 
government.
