HEALTH CARE COSTS TO INCREASE
(Mr. JORDAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, imagine this: The Democrats' health
care bill will not reduce health care costs, but actually increase
them. That's right. According to CMS, the costs will increase over $300
billion. It brings to mind Yogi Berra's line: this is deja vu all over
again.
Of course, taxpayers and families knew this would happen. Any time
you have a big government, Washington-based program, it always costs
more than advertised. The CMS findings underscore what taxpayers and
families across this country understand: we need to repeal this bill
and replace it with the right kind of reform.
