                      BEYOND THE PRESIDENT'S WORDS

  (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, as the President turns up the rhetoric 
regarding his health care plan I urge the American people to look 
beyond the words.
  The President says his plan will help the middle class. But if you 
are a member of the middle class and you are satisfied with your 
current health care insurance, you need to know the Clinton plan will 
actually hurt you. In fact, you will end up paying a lot more money for 
lower quality health care.
  The President says his plan will help younger Americans. But his 
mandated community ratings will penalize the young by making them pay 
higher premiums for health care few of the young ever use.
  The President says his plan will help the working poor. But his 
employer mandates will kill millions of jobs that the working poor now 
desperately need while hurting small business expansion that could help 
the poor become prosperous.
  Mr. Speaker, the President says his plan is good for America. I urge 
the American people to look beyond the President's words to find the 
real truth.
