                   GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, during a time of high unemployment, 
Democrats in Washington propose a government takeover of health care 
that will lead to even more job losses in a weaker economy.
  For months, the American people have looked to Washington for 
policies that will do no harm to our economy and help put workers back 
to work. Unfortunately, all we have seen from the President and 
Democrat-led Congress are record spending, record deficits and record 
debt.

Government. Republicans have real solutions, but the people in charge 
of Congress and the President are ignoring them. It's time for the 
President and the Democrat-controlled Congress to start over on health 
care, work to get our economy back on track and accept real solutions.
