                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, the Democratic health care 
plan that will be forced upon the American people this weekend is, in 
reality, a jobs bill, a really bad jobs bill. What is the evidence that 
this is true?
  This bill will result in the firing of 30,000 individuals from jobs 
who currently work in the private student loan industry. This bill will 
bankrupt rural and underserved urban hospitals, eliminating both jobs 
and access to quality care.
  So where are the jobs, Mr. Speaker? This bill will create jobs. This 
includes 16,000 jobs at the IRS to service the health care police to 
determine if your health care plan meets the health care czar's 
demands.
  This bill has already created a job for Senator Scott Brown, and I am 
confident, if this bill is forced on the American people, a surprising 
number of jobs will be created for new Republican Members of Congress 
in November.
