SCRAP CURRENT HEALTH CARE BILL
(Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, last year, I introduced House Resolution
615, a resolution that simply says, if you vote for a government-run
health care system, you should be willing
to be subject to it. As of today, over
3 million Americans have gone to
fleming.house.gov in support of this resolution.
This message continues to resonate across America for one simple
reason: The people of this country are sick and tired of being the
victims of bad laws while their elected representatives exempt
themselves from the very same laws. If Congress feels increased taxes,
higher premiums, and government-run health care are good enough for
American families, then it should be good enough for them as well.
I urge the President and Democrat leadership to listen to this
overwhelming uproar from the American public. Scrap the current
legislation and go back to the drawing board to craft a true bipartisan
bill that increases access and quality of health care while driving
down costs for American families.
