                            SHOW US THE BILL

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, when it comes to passing a health 
care bill, leadership insists ``this will happen.'' Speaker Pelosi 
claims to have the votes to get it passed on this floor.
  If that's true, Madam Speaker, then show us the bill. If the rhetoric 
coming from the Democrats is true and if they're planning to steamroll 
a $1 trillion health care experiment through this body before August, 
let's see it. Let's debate it. Let's let the Americans see it.
  The American people deserve to see a bill with plenty of time for an 
open and honest debate about exactly what is in store for them if this 
partisan experiment is passed. The American people have seen enough 
smoke and mirrors about the Washington bureaucrat who will be inserted 
directly between patients and physicians. They've seen enough smoke and 
mirrors about how many people will be forced off of their current 
health care plans. They've seen enough smoke and mirrors about the real 
cost of this plan. If you have the votes, then clear out the smoke. 
Show us the bill, and finally give hardworking Americans answers to 
their questions.
  Show us the bill, Madam Speaker.
