                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. REYNOLDS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. REYNOLDS. Mr. Speaker, health care reform is the proverbial train 
leaving the station. More and more Americans are embracing the 
President's health care reform agenda.
  There is growing support among our Nation's teachers and doctors.
  Small businesses are increasingly realizing that health insurance for 
all is good business. And yet, many Members of Congress want to derail 
the health care reform train.
  The cost of doing nothing is far greater than the cost of reforming 
our health care system.
  The American people want health care reform. They want an end to the 
uncertainty of health care coverage, and inadequate access that 
surrounds our present patchwork system.
  The President's plan guarantees universal, private insurance to every 
American. It will increase choice, reduce inefficiencies, and restore a 
sense of personal security that eats at our confidence, reduces our 
competitiveness and saps our resources.
  I urge my fellow Members to get on the health care reform train. The 
American people's desire for this change is fueling our efforts. Do not 
get left at the station.
