          SUPPORT H.R. 3200, COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mrs. CAPPS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, even today we have come further than we ever 
have before on the path to achieving comprehensive health insurance 
reform. Now is not the time to take a step back. Now is the time to 
keep the momentum going.
  The American people want access to affordable health insurance when 
the small business they work for can't provide it for them. The 
American people want to know they won't lose their health insurance if 
their company has to make another round of layoffs. The American people 
want more doctors and nurses in their communities so they know health 
care is always available.
  Mr. Speaker, H.R. 3200 accomplishes all these goals and more. I urge 
my colleagues to step up and seize this moment. Support this 
legislation to bring affordable and quality care to all Americans. Join 
me in strong support of H.R. 3200.
