ANOTHER MONSTER LOOSE IN THE LAND
Mr. HORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HORN. Mr. Speaker, when we think about walking through the
Jurassic Park as portrayed in the book and the movie, we know we need a
catastrophic health care plan. Indeed, there is a catastrophic health
care plan. If there were a legislative sequel to it, it would be the
President's plan that promises to be just like Jurassic Park in terms
of viciousness and scariness. It creates 105 new bureaucracies and
expands 40 more. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it adds
$70 billion more to the deficit. Another trillion dollars will be
expended by the year 2000.
There are those that paid the admission fee for the movie Jurassic
Park and found it worth the money, at least in technique, but many
Americans will find that the legislative sequel will be a high budget,
low quality production. When the dinosaur ideas of the Clinton monster
plan cut into the hard-earned savings of the American family, the
American people will wish that they had never entered that theater.
