                           HEALTH CARE SUMMIT

  (Mr. HERGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERGER. Mr. Speaker, the President continues to ignore the 
American people's fundamental rejection of this health care bill. He 
needs to listen to the American public when they say ``no'' to Big 
Government and ``no'' to government-run health care. Yet, his proposal 
is more of the same government intrusion and high taxes that have been 
the dominant things of his health care plan since day one.
  By refusing to change his plan, the President is demonstrating that 
today's summit and his rhetoric about working with Republicans to find 
solutions are purely for show.
  Mr. Speaker, it's time to start over and allow the public to have a 
seat at the table.
