OBAMACARE
(Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, today we will hear again from the President
about health care reform. However, moving forward on another version of
these massive health care bills is not progress. Raising hundreds of
millions of dollars in new taxes is not progress. Cutting half a
trillion dollars from Medicare is not progress. Putting the government
in charge of health care in this country is not progress.
We all know how flawed the Senate health care bill is, how it is full
of backroom deals like the Cornhusker Kickback and the Louisiana
Purchase and many others. Some say the American people will appreciate
this bill after it becomes law.
Let's not pretend that the American people just don't know enough
about this bill to make an informed decision. They are informed, and
they reject it. Let's scrap this massive bill and start over, just like
the American people would like us to.
