                       RECONCILIATION ACT OF 2010

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                           HON. JOHN BOOZMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Sunday, March 21, 2010

  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, we are all here because we want to do what 
is best for our constituents, our State, and our country. All of us in 
this chamber understand the importance of health care reform no matter 
what side of the aisle we sit on. We've all heard stories and know of 
family members, friends and neighbors who aren't able to get the care 
they need at a cost they can afford. Like my constituents and all 
Americans I want reforms that save lives, save money, and improve care. 
Unfortunately, this bill doesn't reach those goals.
  We must remember that we work for the people. I think some of us have 
forgotten who our bosses are. It's not President Obama, Speaker Pelosi 
or Senator Reid, it's the American people. There is no doubt that the 
people have spoken loud and clear against this big government health 
care bill. If you need a reminder, go look out the window of the 
Capitol where you can see the opposition to this bill mounting.
  I urge my colleagues to do what the overwhelming majority of 
Americans want and that is to kill this bill.
