               GRASS ROOTS SUPPORT FOR HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. DERRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
one minute.)
  Mr. DERRICK. Mr. Speaker, health care reform is a quintessential 
grassroots issue. Literally everyone has a stake in it. That is why 
Americans overwhelmingly support universal coverage and insurance that 
cannot be taken away.
  The American will for reform speaks in a loud, clear voice. Listen to 
just a few of the health advocacy organizations representing millions 
of Americans who support the Guaranteed Health Insurance Act: 
Healthright, Families USA, The Center for Medicare Advocacy, The 
National Mental Health Association, Interreligious Health Care Access, 
The Protestant Health Alliance, The Consortium for Citizens with 
Disabilities, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, The National 
Breast Cancer Coalition, The Community Health Access Coalition, The 
Epilepsy Foundation of America, The American Foundation for the Blind, 
The American Parkinson's Disease Association, and The Association for 
Retarded Citizens.
  These groups give voice to the grassroots. Listen to the people. 
Support health care reform.
