                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. HERGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERGER. Madam Speaker, the American people are increasingly 
rejecting government-run health care. They are saying ``no'' to 
backroom deals and gimmicks used by the majority party to ram this bill 
through by any means necessary. The Democrat leadership has greased the 
skids to ignore the will of the American people and make their vision 
of socialized medicine the law of the land.
  Abusing the rules of when it suits the majority party's purpose is 
not what the American people want. Madam Speaker, allow us to do the 
work we were sent here to do. Let this bill stand or fail on its 
merits. An issue so important to America's future demands transparency 
and a legitimate up-or-down vote.
