HEALTH CARE REFORM
(Mr. CAMPBELL asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CAMPBELL. Madam Speaker, analysts tell us that the Medicare
system in this country will be bankrupt in 7 years and that Social
Security and Medicaid are not far behind. What that means is we can't
pay for the entitlements we've got.
So what does this health care bill do? It adds more entitlements.
It's like learning that you can't pay the mortgage on your house and
buying a second one and five more cars. Americans wouldn't do that, but
President Obama and the Democrats in this House are going to. We can't
pay for the entitlements we've got. Let's pay for them first before we
add new ones.
Unfortunately, because of the actions of this House, America is going
bankrupt, and this health bill will hasten that bankruptcy. Vote ``no''
and kill this bill.
