                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. HOLT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HOLT. Madam Speaker, process, process, process. What legislative 
parliamentary process are we using? It is a distraction. That is what 
someone talks about when they can't debate the content or they run out 
of lies or misdirections about the substance of an argument.
  I don't think the woman from New Jersey is any more interested in our 
process today to guarantee that she has reliable coverage than she is 
concerned about what process the insurance company used to compose the 
letter saying that because she is sick, her coverage is rescinded. She 
prefers to have the guaranteed coverage.
  Do you think a small businessman in New Jersey cares what process the 
insurance company used to arrive at a 25 percent increase in premiums? 
Or the process we use to limit the out-of-pocket expenses a person must 
spend for coverage?
  Enough using procedures to stall and delay. Let's get it done, to 
provide consumer protections for everyone. Let's

get it done, to have caps on insurance premium increases. Let's get it 
done, for better health care outcomes.
