                  HEALTH REFORM IS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE

  (Mr. CAMPBELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. Speaker, earlier this year, President Obama told us 
that all this reckless spending he was doing was going to create jobs.
  Mr. Speaker, where are the jobs? Instead of jobs, we get a so-called 
``health reform'' bill. And this provision of that bill tells Americans 
that they will be prohibited from having their own insurance. They will 
be forced into a government health plan run by something like the IRS.
  Mr. Speaker, this health plan is socialized medicine, pure and 
simple. And in addition to that, it will cost more. It will increase 
taxes on the wealthy and a whole lot of other people. It will increase 
the deficit. It will lower quality. It doesn't cover everyone. And it 
is projected to lose another 5 million jobs of Americans.
  Mr. Speaker, this is not reform. This is just nuts.
