                           HEALTH CARE BLUES

  (Ms. McKINNEY asked and was given permission to address the house for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. McKINNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to tell you if we do not pass 
health care for all Americans, then middle class Americans will 
continue to have the health care blues.
  Far too long have we permitted our citizens to fall, because there 
was no guaranteed health care for them.
  When some of our most prized heartthrob entertainers needed health 
care, they found out it was not there.
  Performers like Mary Wells, Jackie Wilson, and LaVerne Baker all 
needed health care reform.
  Now is too late for them, but it is not too later for the hard 
working American families who will benefit from the reform that we are 
about to pass.
  Mr. Speaker, the ``go-slow, just say no, scare your pants off'' crowd 
are singing the wrong song for America.
  There is no need for Americans to play the health care blues.
  Let us pass health care for all.
