                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, the people of this country like to have 
simple truth; and the simple truth about the bill that we are probably 
going to vote on this week is that Americans are opposed to the health 
care bill. But the Democrats in charge of the Congress think they are 
smarter than the average American and are going to cram through this 
bill with tricks, and the people do not want it. It takes away 
individual freedom and puts the government in charge.
  Even the President admitted at the Republican retreat that you would 
not be able to keep your health insurance if you like it, despite the 
fact that he had been saying that for months.
  Even some Democrats don't like the Senate bill or didn't like the 
Senate bill that is what is going to be voted on. And the chair of the 
House Rules Committee said last year the Senate should, ``go back to 
the drawing board,'' and that the Senate bill, ``will do almost nothing 
to reform health care but will be a windfall for insurance companies.''
  Vote ``no'' on this bill.
