  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, like the ads on TV, 7 out of 10 doctors 
agree. This time they agree the Clinton health care plan is bad for 
your health. In fact, according to a recent poll, 75 percent of doctors 
oppose the Clinton plan, and for good reason.
  Bill's bill is bad medicine for our health care quality. Because of 
its global budgets, the Clinton bill will promote health care 
rationing, causing long lines, and limited choice.
  Because of its employer mandates, the Clinton bill will hurt economic 
growth, kill millions of jobs, and stunt business growth.
  And with its mandated community ratings, the healthy and the young 
will have to pay more for their health care while getting a great deal 
less.
  Mr. Speaker, there is a better way to health care reform. I urge the 
President to work with Republicans in a bipartisan fashion to craft a 
common-sense approach to health care.
  Fix the problems of our current system, without creating more 
problems in the future. Drop the mandates, drop the taxes, and drop the 
Government takeover of health care.
