                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, after a full year of trying to sell his 
big government health care takeover, it is clear that President 
Clinton's plan has fallen and it cannot get up.
  It has fallen because the American people know better than to trust 
their families' health care to Washington bureaucrats. Americans have a 
gut instinct that clearly tells them Government seldom knows best. That 
folks ought to be able to choose their own doctors, their own coverage, 
their own treatments.
  Unforutnately, the Democrat leadership and the administration are 
meeting secretly behind closed doors. You see their idea is to spring 
their big Government, health care takeover plan on Congress and the 
American people again at the last minute and then force a vote before 
anyone really understands the bill. That is the only way they can reach 
their goal of putting bureaucrats and politicians in charge of 
Americans' health care. And that is wrong.
