care bill. This bill has within it a public option to which Members of 
Congress aren't subject. It has a comingling of taxpayer funds for 
abortion services, tax increases, benefit cuts, especially for Medicare 
Advantage. And, in leaving the $245 billion doctor fix out of the bill 
and put in a separate bill, it really makes a mockery of what the 
President said here when he said not one dime will be added to the 
deficit.
  The bill also has no appreciable attempt at medical malpractice 
reform and actually tries to avoid State limits imposed by State 
legislatures.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill simply must be voted down, we start over and 
try to find a collaborative process, and come up with something that 
will work for America.
