                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Madam Speaker, there is a difference between the 
right way and the wrong way on health care reform, and the American 
people know it. Results from a survey on my Web site just came back the 
last few days. We asked the question what the people in the 19th 
Congressional District thought about their current health care system 
versus the one being proposed by Speaker Pelosi. Eighty-eight percent 
of the people who took my survey believe that their current health care 
system is better than the one in this bill. Speaker Pelosi, this is the 
worst bill ever.
  H.R. 3962 will cost $1.2 trillion over the first decade, and that's 
after using some smoke and mirrors with the numbers, not the $894 
billion that the Speaker claims; or, simply put, this is bending the 
cost curve in the wrong direction.
  This bill permits Federal programs to be spent on abortion services. 
It includes a government-run plan that will force tens of millions of 
Americans off their current coverage. In navigating the new health care 
system, the bill creates 111 new programs and bureaucracies. These are 
not the positive solutions the American people are looking for.
  Mr. Speaker, let's start over.
