                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. YARMUTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, this morning on my way in to the Capitol 
I experienced a moment of karma. The first song that came on the radio, 
when I turned it on, was a song from the show ``Les Mis'' called ``One 
Day More.'' In that Broadway show, ``One Day More'' is sung on the eve 
of an insurrection by French students, many of whom know they are going 
to die.
  One day more today we will be passing an historic piece of 
legislation that will not take lives. It will save lives; the 18,000 
lives that are lost every year because of a lack of health insurance. 
We will save lives, we will save money, we will save Medicare, and we 
will save jobs. One day more until we accomplish all of that for our 
economy, for our citizens, and for our country.
  Tomorrow, indeed, will be a wonderful day.
