                       READ THE HEALTH CARE BILL

  (Mr. McKEON asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McKEON. Mr. Speaker, the Democratic leadership has been demanding 
that we pass health care reform this week. That's very, very important, 
even though the bill doesn't take effect for 5 years. This is the bill. 
My constituents have been asking me to read the bill and I've been 
working on it. We now have three iterations of this bill. I would like 
to advise my senior friends at home to read it. Let me tell you, page 
331, read about Medicare Advantage reforms and how they're going to 
take $168 billion out of Medicare Advantage to help pay for some other 
people. Read a little bit on page 425, 424, start reading about how 
they're going to have you, at 65, go in and have a planning session 
with a health care consultant on how you're going to die. Please, read 
the bill.
