                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Ms. CHU asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. CHU. It's as simple as this: Are you for what the insurance 
companies are doing, or are you against it? Do you think it's right to 
cut your mother off her insurance because she's had a catastrophic 
cancer? I don't. Do you think it's right to deny your sister insurance 
because she had a cesarean section? Do you think it's right for 
insurance companies to raise rates 39 percent all at one time, forcing 
businesses to choose between health care or firing people? I don't.
  If you think it's right for the insurance companies to do this to 
your son, daughter, or mother, join the Republicans in opposing health 
care reform. I don't think it's right. In fact, I think it's an 
outrage. That is why I know we must pass health care reform now.
