REPEAL HEALTH CARE BILL
(Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. FLEMING. Madam Speaker, now that Washington leftists have forced
socialized medicine down the throats of Americans, the British are
about to abandon it.
According to a recent report, a large part of the British health
system is being dismantled by the new government because of
skyrocketing costs and widespread rationing of care that has long
plagued the system and its patients. This radical reorganization would
essentially abolish the 150 bureaucracies who decide who gets health
care in the system, restoring that decision to its rightful place
between the doctor and the patient.
Madam Speaker, as the new British Government prepares to move away
from government-controlled rationing of health care, President Obama
and the liberals in Congress are taking our country further down the
road of socialism. I urge my colleagues to take a lesson from the
British and work to repeal this disastrous legislation which inserts
Washington between patients and their doctors.
