                               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.
