                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. McMORRIS RODGERS. Madam Speaker, America needs health care 
reform, but America knows that this is not the right approach. This is 
the wrong policy and it is the wrong process; yet the majority is 
willing to do everything possible to pass this bill, even over the 
objections of the American people.
  Just recently, CNN had a poll that showed 73 percent of Americans 
across the country would like to scrap the bill or start all over; yet 
now we are being told the Democrat leadership may deem the bill passed 
without Members of Congress even voting on it. That is un-American. It 
ignores the democratic process.
  Madam Speaker, we need an up-or-down vote. If Congress passes this 
bill without even a vote on it, the American people will be outraged, 
and rightfully so. There is a better way. Let's go to work on it.
