HEALTH CARE REFORM
(Mr. HENSARLING asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, after the Cornhusker kickback, the
Louisiana purchase, the Gator aid, the labor union bailout, the
sweetheart deals for the pharmaceutical companies, now we're told that
the Democrats are simply going to deem the Senate bill without voting
on it.
Not 1 hour ago, I had Jennifer Neill of Athens, Texas, a middle
schooler, in my office, and she said, That's not right. Why is
something obvious to a middle schooler such a mystery to the Speaker
and the Democrats?
What's not right is to ignore the wishes of the American people.
What's not right is to have the government force you to buy health
insurance. What's not right is to take health care decisions away from
your doctor and give them to Washington bureaucrats and politicians.
What's not right is adding $2.7 trillion in new spending as the
Democrats triple our national debt and bankrupt Americans.
What is right is to scrap the bill, start over, and let freedom ring
in America.
