       GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE IS NOT GOOD FOR AMERICA

  (Mr. TERRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TERRY. The House health care bill is a government takeover of 
your health care and destructive to the economy. It provides perverse 
incentives to employers to dump their health care plan, forcing their 
employees into the government health exchange where they will choose 
the government-subsidized government plan. Oops, there goes the promise 
that you can keep your own plan.
  This costs you $1 trillion placed on the back of small businesses. 
Oops, there goes those jobs.
  After 10 years, the cost of this plan explodes, needing multi-
trillions of dollars to continue to fund. More taxes, more debt. Oops, 
there goes our economy--to China and India.
