                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mrs. BIGGERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BIGGERT. Madam Speaker, the American people have made it very 
clear that they do not like or want this bill. How arrogant is it for 
the other side of the aisle to say to them, We know what's best for 
you, and we're going to pass it anyway. And then how arrogant is it for 
the other side of the aisle to say, We don't have to take a vote on 
this bill. We'll just deem it law.
  In both cases the other side of the aisle is grossly underestimating 
the intelligence of the American people. The American people know that 
deeming is a vote on a bill that they don't like. Let's just have an 
up-or-down vote if we have to have a vote on this, and I vote ``no.''
