                           MEDICAL RIGHTS ACT

  (Mr. KIRK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KIRK. Mr. Speaker, this is what the House government health care 
bill creates: $1 trillion, 1,000 pages, $1 billion per page. Here is 
the patient, and over here is the doctor.
  Now, moderate Republicans have a much better plan we will put 
forward. Our Medical Rights Act says Congress cannot restrict the 
decisions of you and your doctor and eliminates the need for all of 
this, and puts you right next to your physician, without the need for 
$1 trillion in spending.
