                         CHOICE ARRANGEMENT ACT

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, according to the National Federation of 
Independent Business, small businesses have ranked the cost of 
healthcare as their number one problem for 32 straight years.
  That is just one of the many reasons why House Republicans will be 
working to pass the CHOICE Arrangement Act this week, which was 
introduced by my good friend and chairman of the Republican Study 
Committee, Mr. Kevin Hern.
  The CHOICE Arrangement Act will enhance the flexibility and 
affordability of healthcare options for small businesses by aiming to 
reduce administrative burdens and by empowering small employers to 
provide the type of healthcare coverage that works best for their 
employees.
  As a small business owner, I know that when Washington gets involved 
in our ability to make the best decisions for our employees, things go 
awry. That is why I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the 
CHOICE Arrangement Act by voting ``yes'' on its passage.
