             DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PELOSI-CARE HEALTH BILL

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, don't be fooled by the introduction of the 
newest health care bill supported by Speaker Pelosi. It is no more than 
the same bill millions of Americans spoke against in August but 
reintroduced with a different name and a different number.
  No matter what it is called, the disguise hasn't tricked the 
residents of the Third District of Arkansas. Over the weekend, I 
received over 200 e-mails, and the overwhelming majority of those are 
from my constituents who are very much in opposition to this plan.
  Instead of creating taxes, entitlement programs and redtape to reform 
health care, we need to let families and businesses buy health 
insurance across State lines; allow small businesses to pool together 
to buy health insurance at a lower cost; and end lawsuits that 
contribute to the costs because of doctors being forced to practice 
defensive medicine.
  Mr. Speaker, we can and need to do a better job for the American 
people. Let's create real reform, not more problems to fix down the 
road.
