    DON'T DESTROY THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WHILE TRYING TO IMPROVE IT

  (Mr. BONNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BONNER. Mr. Speaker, last week one Republican after another asked 
a very simple yet relevant question to the House Democratic leadership: 
Where are the jobs that you and the President promised almost 6 months 
ago when you passed that gigantic $787 billion stimulus bill?
  You see, the answer to that question is important if the American 
people are to have any confidence in the Democrats, who not only run 
the House but are now in control of this entire city, when they boldly 
promise a new government Federal health plan costing $1.6 trillion, 
financed by $818 billion in new taxes on individuals and small 
businesses; and at the end of the day, all that new spending and all 
those new taxes are only going to just create more debt and more 
concern.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people know better; and they have genuine 
concern about what they're seeing come out of their Federal Government. 
Republicans know our health care system needs repair. We just don't 
want to see it destroyed all in the name of making it better.
