                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I don't think the American 
people can be any clearer. They do not want this government-run health 
care bill that the President and leaders in this Congress are trying to 
ram down their throats. The leadership in this House have declared that 
socialized health care will become law without taking a vote on the 
actual bill. They are forcing this reconciliation ruse.
  It's a simple answer. This bill contains billions of new taxes, kills 
jobs, provides for taxpayer-funded abortions, and places an enormous 
debt on the shoulders of our children and grandchildren. The fact is, 
many Democrats in Congress do not like this bill any more than the 
American people. They will be forced to vote for it with a promise that 
it will be fixed later, but we all know that this is an empty promise. 
It is a reconciliation to nowhere.
  The Democrats may control Washington, but the American people still 
control this country. I urge all of my colleagues to stand up for your 
constituents and vote ``no'' on this scam.
