                            WHO DO WE TRUST?

  (Mr. HAYWORTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HAYWORTH. Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to my 
colleague from Missouri. Many things she said I agree with: the notion 
of health insurance being able to be taken from job to job; the notion 
of affordability and portability is important. But again my friends on 
the other side would rather play politics and indulge in name calling 
than deal with sound policy.
  No, it is not extreme to let the American people have medical savings 
accounts so that they can decide how to spend their health care 
dollars. Mr. Speaker, the fact is that will help American taxpayers and 
the hard-working men and women of America immeasurably, and once again, 
Mr. Speaker, it comes down to this basic question:
  Why should we be afraid to let the American people have control of 
their own money, have control of their own future, and again, Mr. 
Speaker, it comes down to this question:
  Who do we trust; the people of the United States or the Washington 
bureaucrats?
  Mr. Speaker, I trust the people of the United States.
