                       SOMEBODY MUST PAY THE BILL

  (Mr. CRENSHAW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. CRENSHAW. Mr. Speaker, we all know that America's got the best 
health care of any nation in the world. But when some people can't 
afford it and some people don't have access to it, then that is a 
crisis and we need some reform. But we need the right kind of reform. 
We don't need this Democratic plan that's being rushed through the 
House.
  I've been talking to my constituents back home and they say, We want 
to make sure that we have the right to choose our own doctor. They say, 
We want to have the right to get the treatment we need when we need it.
  And that's what the Republican reform does.
  That's not what the Democratic reform does. In fact, stop and think 
about this: Democrats will tell you health care is expensive, but we're 
going to provide more health care to more people, and it's not going to 
cost anybody any money except maybe a few millionaires. Those numbers 
don't add up.
  You better think about it because somebody's got to pay the bill. It 
might just be you.
