                              CLINTONCARE

  (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, with the clock running down and public 
support nose-diving for his Big Government health care takeover, the 
president has decided to focus on folks he has ignored during his first 
18 months in office--the middle class.
  The White House is courting them with slick television ads, fancy 
campaign style bus tours, and speech after speech.
  So far he has not been successful because the middle class knows that 
for them Clintoncare means lost jobs and income through employer 
mandates and higher taxes. Clintoncare means Washington Bureaucrats 
choosing doctors and available treatments instead of families. 
Clintoncare means health care rationing. And Clintoncare means Big 
Government nannyism at its worst that assumes government always knows 
best and should dictate decisions to average folks. That is why 
president Clinton and the Democrat leadership is trying to ram their 
plan through before any more debate can occur.
