                 HEALTH INSURANCE THAT IS ALWAYS THERE

  (Mr. DERRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. DERRICK. Mr. Speaker, 9 out of 10 Americans with private health 
insurance receive their coverage at work. Many of these Americans risk 
losing their coverage when they change jobs or get sick--just when they 
need it most.
  Health care reform guarantees private insurance for every American. 
Whether newly employed, looking for work, or sick and unable to work, 
no one will lose their coverage or see it compromised.
  Health care reform will provide personal, private, comprehensive, and 
uninterrupted insurance. Wherever any American goes, they will take 
their coverage with them.
  Individual circumstance may change, but people will not have to worry 
about losing their coverage or their benefits being cut. If they get 
sick they will not have their rates jacked up. If they are older, they 
will not pay more just because they have aged.
  Health care reform will ensure that insurance is just that--
insurance, always there and always effective.
