   HEALTH CARE: DO WE WANT TO TURN IT OVER TO WASHINGTON BUREAUCRATS?

  (Mr. GOODLATTE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOODLATTE. Mr. Speaker, as the House prepares to debate the 
Clinton-Gephardt big Government health care bill, American families and 
Members of Congress need to ask themselves a question: ``Do we really 
want to turn over all of our health care to Washington, DC, 
bureaucrats?''
  And do you want to trust a health care system designed behind closed 
doors by President Clinton, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat leadership, 
and left wing, liberal special interests.
  After all, if someone with the past track record like theirs walked 
into your hospital room and said, ``Hello, Mr. Jones, we are your 
doctors. We have got experimental new treatments; we do not know if 
they will work; and by the way, we have messed up about every other 
treatment we have ever designed. But what the hay, let us get 
started.''
  Mr. Jones would manage to leap from his hospital bed and make an all-
out run for the exit to get away from these medical quacks.
  Well, that is exactly what the American people are doing as they meet 
Doctors Clinton, Gephardt, and Mitchell. They are heading for the hills 
as well they should.
