              SUPPORT THE GUARANTEED HEALTH INSURANCE ACT

  (Mr. DERRICK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DERRICK. Mr. Speaker, the health care status quo keeps 38 million 
Americans uninsured and millions more underinsured. If Congress does 
not reform the system, we can expect these people to stay that way.
  That is why America supports comprehensive reform. It is becoming 
clear that alternatives to the plan will not work. Half-way insurance 
reforms and subsidies only lead to higher premiums and less coverage.
  That is why these long time advocates for health care reform support 
the Gephardt bill:
  The Lupus Foundation of America; the American Counseling Association; 
Eldercare America, Inc., the AIDS Action Council; the National 
Osteoporosis Foundation; the Foundation of Behavioral, Psychological, 
and Cognitive Sciences; the Alzheimer's Association; the National 
Psoriasis Foundation; the American Council for the Blind; the Human 
Rights Campaign Fund, and the Association of Maternal and Child Health 
Programs.
  Give America serious reform. Support the Guaranteed Health Insurance 
Act.
