                 ONE SIMPLE QUESTION ABOUT HEALTH CARE

  (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, it is no wonder the Clinton administration 
is trying to sell their health care reform plan as the only game in 
town.
  The President's plan is an unworkable, unaffordable, and 
incomprehensible bureaucratic nightmare.
  The more you know it, the more you loathe it.
  So its pretty obvious why the administration does not want you to 
know anything else and why they will not give you an option to leave it 
once you are in it.
  The debate is complex but the question America needs to ask itself is 
simple. How will the President's plan affect my family?
  When you hear that the Clinton plan will reduce the quality of care 
your family receives;
  When you hear that the Clinton plan will lengthen the time it takes 
your family to receive that care;
  When you hear that the Clinton plan will complicate receiving that 
care;
  And when you hear that the Clinton plan will raise the cost of that 
care, you will understand why the President wants to be the only dog in 
the show instead of just being the one with the most fleas.
