                             WAY OVERBOARD

  (Ms. DUNN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DUNN. Mr. Speaker, I want to read a quote about health care 
reform:

       We need to do something about it, but we don't need to go 
     overboard. Repair it, but be sure you don't break it further.

  That is the opinion regarding health care of the constituents of one 
Democratic Member from Louisiana, according to the Washington Post.
  Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, the Clinton health care plan goes way 
overboard.
  Instead of fixing the problems that plague our current system, the 
Clinton health care plan will create even more problems by mandating 
that government, control the health care decisions of every American 
citizen.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people are worried about the Clinton health 
reform plan. They are afraid of what it will do to their health care 
quality. They are troubled by the long lines, the rationed care and the 
higher taxes.
  For most Americans, the Clinton plan goes way overboard.
  I urge my colleagues to listen to the American people. Repair our 
health care system, but be especially careful that we do not break it 
further.
