                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. JORDAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Madam Speaker, what part of ``no'' don't the 
Democrats get? They were going to pass this health care bill last 
September and the American people said ``no.'' They were going to pass 
it in October and the American people said ``no.'' They said we're 
going to get it done by Thanksgiving and the American people said 
``no.'' Oh, we're going to get it done by Christmas and the American 
people said ``no.'' We're going to get it done by the State of the 
Union and the American people said ``no.'' And now they say, oh, we're 
going to get it done before Easter, and the American people continue to 
say ``no.'' What part of ``no'' don't they get?
  The American people don't want this big government takeover. They 
want real reform that will help them, their small businesses, and their 
families. That is what we should be doing, not taking this over by the 
government.
