                      DEMOCRATS' HEALTH CARE PLAN

  (Mr. CLYBURN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, the Guaranteed Health Insurance Act of 1994 
is the cure for what ails the millions of Americans who are finding no 
relief under this country's current health care system.
  For those working Americans who are sick of not being able to afford 
insurance, the plan offers an antidote that guarantees universal 
coverage over time that can never be taken away, even with job changes 
and even with a preexisting condition.
  Small business owners get tax credits and affordable premiums, a 
remedy to paying high premiums or for not being able to provide 
employees with any coverage at all.
  Middle income Americans get the healing assurance that they will be 
able to keep their present coverage and they will not have to bear the 
brunt for those who are not covered.
  Rural residents, like many who live in the Sixth District of South 
Carolina, get expanded and integrated rural health care facilities.
  Seniors get expanded Medicare benefits, like unlimited prescription 
drug coverage, and a new long-term care program.
  Mr. Speaker, this is the plan that can transport America's health 
care system down the road to recovery.
