                      START OVER ON HEALTH REFORM

  (Mr. HERGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERGER. Mr. Speaker, in June of last year, President Obama told a 
crowd of people, ``If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep 
your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to 
keep your health care plan. No one will take it away. No matter what.''
  Mr. Speaker, it turns out there is someone who will take your health 
care plan away, and that person is President Obama himself. A report 
done by the President's own administration concludes that under Obama 
care, 50 percent of seniors will lose their Medicare Advantage plans, 
and it says that some of the Medicare cost control mechanisms may be 
unsustainable.

and they can't afford to lose the insurance that they depend on. House 
Republicans have better, common sense

health care reform plans that will help seniors and their families. 
House Republicans will work tirelessly to repeal this harmful bill and 
start over.
