HEALTH CARE REFORM
(Mr. TERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TERRY. There will be no straight up-and-down vote on a health
care bill. Instead, the leadership has chosen a procedural trick to
insert the Senate bill into a rule deeming the Senate bill passed. So
if you vote for the rule, you are voting for the Cornhusker kickback,
the Louisiana purchase, and language that allows funds to flow to
abortions. What won't be in this bill is the Terry bill or amendment
that allows people to join the same health care plans that we have as
Members of Congress. Why? Because it's not controlled by the government
and its bureaucrats.
Yes, this is about government control, where bureaucrats and Congress
will be in control of your health care. And somehow the leadership and
authors of these tricks in this bill wonder why the American people
don't want this bill.
