 HOW LONG WILL PRESIDENT CLINTON AND SENATOR KENNEDY STAND IN THE WAY?

  (Mr. BOEHNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BOEHNER. Mr. Speaker, Republicans have a health care bill that 
ensures affordability, accessibility and ensures that preexisting 
conditions will not deny an individual health care coverage any longer. 
It makes health care more affordable to small businesses and to the 
self-employed and allows them to set up medical savings accounts. It 
allows tax deductions for long-term health care needs, and it fights 
fraud and abuse with tough new provisions.
  Mr. Speaker there are only two people standing between the American 
people and more affordable and available health care, and that is 
President Bill Clinton and Senator Ted Kennedy, and, Mr. Speaker, how 
long will they stand in the way and deny the American people these much 
needed reforms?
