PARTISAN HEALTH CARE PROCESS
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, the process that liberals
are considering to take to pass the government health care takeover is
almost as bad as the bill itself. The latest plan includes the House
passing the Senate's version of the takeover bill, complete with the
kickbacks and backroom deals that have become regular under the current
liberal leadership.
An informative memo put together by Senator John Kyl and Congressman
Eric Cantor helps explain this process to the American people. The memo
[[Page H1341]]
goes on to explain that House Democrats would fast-track the
reconciliation bill, fixing some, but not all, of the problems. Next,
the Senate will then take up the House version and send it to the
President.
Americans need to know that House Democrats must pass the Senate's
health care takeover before the Senate can alter or try to improve it.
The Senate bill is too bitter of a pill for my colleagues to swallow
because it kills jobs. On the good side, The Hill today reports, front
page, the Senate bill provides for citizenship verification to buy
insurance.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
