                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, tonight President Obama will address a joint 
session of Congress to make yet another appeal for his health care 
plan.
  According to an analysis by CBS News, the President has already 
delivered 27 speeches on the issue of health care. Tonight will mark 
speech number 28. Yet with each passing day, as the American public 
digs deeper into the details of the plan, they learn that the 
President's rhetoric doesn't always fit with reality.
  Pushing for a government takeover of health care with new spin will 
not change the minds of the American people who strongly and correctly 
oppose a government-run insurance plan.
  Tonight the President should reset on his health care plan and begin 
working with Republicans on bipartisan reform that addresses the 
concerns of Americans and that the American people can support.
