                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. OBEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. OBEY. Madam Speaker, there is one difference between my friends 
over here who are speechifying against health care reform today and 50 
million Americans. The difference is that the roughly 15 Americans over 
here all have health insurance, and it is largely paid for by the 
taxpayers. Fifty million Americans don't have that good fortune. In 
fact, that difference is shameful, that difference is immoral, and I 
hope to God that this House has the courage and the decency to vote to 
change it this week.
