REPEAL AND REPLACE RALLIES
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, over the past 2 weeks I
have heard about the job-killing effect the recently passed government
health care takeover will have from concerned citizens across South
Carolina. I've heard from small business owners, the primary providers
of jobs in America, how they will face a $2,000 fine for each employee
without insurance. I've heard from seniors who are afraid that their
former employers will drop their drug benefits. I've heard from people
currently looking for work that the creation of 16,500 new IRS agents
isn't what they had in mind when it came to job creation. And I've
heard from just about everyone about the concern that their insurance
premiums will rise dramatically.
The message I bring back from South Carolinians is clear: repeal the
job-killing takeover and replace it with an affordable solution that is
centered around the patient and not the government, the SWAP bill.
In conclusion, God bless our troops and we will never forget
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism. Best wishes for the
success of the Heritage Golf Classic at Hilton Head Island, South
Carolina.
