                      BULLDAWG STATEMENT ON HEALTH

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of the hard-
working, taxpaying, middle class.
  I rise in support of strong health care reform.
  The ``Just-Say-No Club'' tells 37 million Americans who have no 
health insurance, and the millions more who are dangerously 
underinsured that we need to ``slow down'' on health care reform. They 
tell us that our current health care system works just fine--there is 
no need ``fix something that isn't broken.'' Well * * * the gridlock 
gang is at it again.
  Their leaders tell the American people that they are for bipartisan 
reform, though its on their terms. Then they instruct their Members to 
vote against any idea put forth by a Democrat. There is a great deal of 
partisan politics holding up health care reform, but it ain't the 
Democrats.
  It is time for the American people to remind those ``right-wing, ever 
publicly uttering baloney, ``Just-Say-No Club'' who they work for.
  I rise today to tell the hard-working American taxpayers that we are 
fighting you--not the monied special interests.
