                          JUST DON'T GET SICK

  (Ms. SHEA-PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, here's the problems Americans are 
facing today: no money, no insurance, get sick, disaster; preexisting 
condition, no insurance, get sick, disaster; laid off, no insurance, 
get sick, disaster; employer drops coverage, no insurance, get sick, 
disaster.
  This is what the Democrats are trying to fix. This is what the public 
option and the exchange will fix. It allows people who like their 
insurance to keep it, and it will cover those who do not have 
insurance. The Republican health plan very simply is: just don't get 
sick.
