                HEALTH REFORM DOES NOT HELP THE JOBLESS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House

[[Page H2968]]

for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, I will support the health reform bill 
today; portability is long overdue. But I do have a question. What good 
is portability to many Americans who do not have a job?
  It is about jobs, Congress, and around here jobs has become an 
absolute four-letter word to the highest degree.
  Check out some of the new high paying jobs American workers could 
apply for: Deep fried foods specialist. Gizzard skin remover. Corn cob 
pipe assembler. Pantyhose crotch closer machine operator. How about a 
poultry impregnator? Tell me, Mr. Speaker, what exactly is a poultry 
impregnator?
  I am going to vote for the health reform bill, but it is a help to 
those who have, but it does absolutely nothing for those that have not. 
A job, that is.
  Think about that.
