                          STOP THE BLAME GAME

  (Mr. GOSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOSS. Mr. Speaker, I was disappointed by the partisan words of 
the majority whip when he said: ``House Republicans are willing to say 
and do anything to bring down everything we want to do to help working 
people.'' Fact is, the Democrats' health reform plans are collapsing 
under their own weight and burdening many work people mightily by 
costing them their jobs. Republicans have a comprehensive reform plan 
of our own--and bipartisan, market-based reforms supported by the 
American people. Republicans want to ensure quality, access and choice 
in health care. Republicans want to minimize Government interference in 
individual decisions. And Republicans know heavyhanded Government cost 
control will kill jobs and lead to health care rationing. It is time to 
stop playing the blame game and work together on health care reform. I 
invite all colleagues to look at the GOP solution. It will work.
