                            ANNIVERSARY DAY

  (Mr. HEFLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HEFLEY. Mr. Speaker, today is the 1-year anniversary of the 
Clinton health care plan.
  On such occasions it is customary for the couple to exchange gifts. 
Now in this case the two parties are the American people and the 
Clinton plan.
  For the American people it will be tough to give a gift to the 
Clinton plan. I mean, what do you give to the plan that has got 
nothing?
  You cannot give it more mandates, it has already got those. You 
cannot give it more deficit spending, it has already got that. And you 
sure cannot give it more government bureaucracy, because it has got 
that too.
  And what will the Clinton health care plan give America on its 1-year 
anniversary? The same thing it would have given on day one.
  It will give the country more rationing, more waiting, more cost, and 
less choice.
  If love is constant, then the Clinton plan surely loves the American 
people. Thus proving once and for all, the adage that you always hurt 
the one you love.
