                       HEALTH CARE--NFIB JOB LOSS

  (Mr. EVERETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EVERETT. Mr. Speaker, there is another kind of insurance that the 
Clinton-Gephardt plan should include--job loss insurance. According to 
a new report from the National Federation of Independent Business, the 
Clinton-Gephardt bill will destroy 1.3 million jobs and cost another 11 
million workers over $13 billion in reduced wages.
  These jobs losses and reduced wages are a direct result of employer 
mandates in the plan. Clinton-Gephardt might be guaranteeing universal 
health insurance coverage, but will it also find jobs for all the 
people it puts out of work?
  For a President that brags about low-paying job creation as one of 
his accomplishments--you have to wonder why his health care scheme does 
more to destroy jobs than its does to provide good, solid bipartisan 
health care.
