                           SLAUGHTER SOLUTION

  (Mr. HERGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERGER. Madam Speaker, the Democratic leadership has been pushing 
the Slaughter solution rule to send the Senate health care bill to the 
President's desk without a separate House vote.
  A vote for this rule is a vote for the Cornhusker kickback, a vote 
for the Louisiana purchase, and a vote for every other backroom deal in 
the bill. It's a vote for taxpayer-funded abortion. It's a vote to 
force Americans to buy from the same health insurance companies that 
the President has been attacking but at even a higher price.
  Madam Speaker, Congress needs to understand that the American people 
won't be fooled. A vote for the Slaughter solution rule is a vote for 
the Senate's disastrous government takeover of health care. Vote 
``no.''
