     REPUBLICANS HAVE THE RIGHT PRESCRIPTION FOR HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, despite months of town hall meetings and after 
millions of Americans voiced their opposition to a government takeover 
of health care, Democrats in Congress are moving ahead anyway.
  Not only does the Pelosi health care plan raise taxes and increase 
spending, it will vastly grow the size and power of the Federal 
Government, taking more and more of our freedoms away.
  The Pelosi health care plan proposes the creation of more than 110 
new bureaucracies, boards, commissions, or programs. More taxes, more 
spending, and more government is not the plan for reform the people 
support.
  Republicans have a plan that allows us to keep our freedoms and not 
be dictated to by the Federal Government. It's the right prescription 
for health care reform.
