                           LET'S GET IT DONE

  (Mrs. CAPPS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, the time for health reform is now. The 
American people want it. The American economy needs it, and we will 
pass a comprehensive health care bill out of this Chamber before we 
break for August recess.
  We will pass a bill to reform health care that ends the current 
system of insurance company executives lining their pockets by denying 
you the care you need. We will pass a bill that keeps your health 
coverage intact even if you lose your job or face a sudden illness, and 
we will pass a bill that brings health care spending under control.
  It's easy to get caught up in the politics of Washington as we work 
on this legislation, but this is about so much more. It's about the 
American people. When we pass this legislation, when the President 
signs it into law, everyday families will finally be able to have 
access to reliable, affordable, quality health care.
  Let's get it done.
