                 HEALTH CARE REFORM: MAKE SURE IT WORKS

  (Mr. KREIDLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KREIDLER. Mr. Speaker, very soon we will vote on the most 
important reform of health care in our Nation's history.
  Having spent 20 years treating patients, I am convinced that for 
reform to work, we have to accomplish several objectives:
  We have to keep the cost of health insurance from spiraling out of 
control, especially for small business.
  We have to give people a choice of doctors and health plans.
  We have to keep health insurance in the private marketplace.
  And we have to let States like Washington implement their own health 
reform plans.
  That is what the people we work for expect, that is what they 
deserve, and that is why I will not support any plan that does not 
offer every American the same health security that Members of Congress 
have.
