                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. BISHOP of Utah asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BISHOP of Utah. Madam Speaker, it is very difficult to criticize 
a bill that is still being put together behind closed doors. But we do 
know that it is more about consolidation of power in Washington than 
about real health reform for the American people. We also know that a 
poor process always equals poor public policy, and the procedural 
shenanigans being proposed by the Speaker and Democratic leaders to 
slip this past the American people make all of Lucy Ricardo's schemes 
to be a part of Ricky's show look like clear and logical plans of 
action. This also would be a comedy if it wasn't such a tragedy for the 
American people.
  Madam Speaker, my State has already instituted real health care 
solutions that deal with our demographics and give people options in 
the State of Utah. All of our efforts will be destroyed if this one-
size-fits-all, trillion-dollar tragedy is actually passed here on the 
House floor.
