                         THE WRONG PRESCRIPTION

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, according to the latest poll, 86 percent of 
the American people have health care insurance and are happy with it. 
When the American people talk about reform, they do not mean radical 
restructuring. When they speak about universal coverage, they do not 
mean socialized medicine. And when they see cost containment, they do 
not want health care rationing.
  Mr. Speaker, the Clinton plan is the wrong prescription for the 
problems of our health care system. I urge the President and the 
Democratic leadership to listen to the desires of the American people. 
Work with Republicans to achieve a commonsense health care reform now. 
Do not try and do it alone, behind closed doors. The American people 
will reject that at the polls in November.
