                              HEALTH CARE

  (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, it is time for the Republicans to step up 
to the plate on the health care debate. The majority leader has 
proposed a health plan that will have a positive effect on millions of 
uninsured Americans. The Members from the other side of the aisle call 
this plan and the Mitchell plan Clinton Lite. These plans are not 
Clinton lite. They are the result of a hard-working Congress. We heard 
the fears of small business and gave them relief. We heard the concerns 
of rural America and provided incentives to better health care. We 
heard from all of America and crafted the bill that will provide 
coverage to the millions of hard working, taxpaying American citizens. 
It is time for the Republicans to step up to the plate and hit a home 
run by supporting Congress' health care plan. Let us hope they can do 
better than they did in the congressional baseball game.
