     WE NEED REFORMS THAT DO NOT HURT SMALL BUSINESSES AND FAMILIES

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, as the Senate Finance 
Committee votes on their version of the health care takeover, the 
American people see business as usual in Washington--more spending, 
more government, and more taxes.
  The American people are more and more shocked with these big 
government schemes. They understand that we need a set of reforms that 
will not hurt small businesses or families through tax penalties and 
unintelligible government mandates. We do not need thousands of more 
pages of regulations controlled by a health czar, the most powerful and 
all-wise person on Earth.
  Republicans continue to offer solutions that promote potential of our 
proven free market system. We can help families and small businesses 
secure affordable health care regardless of preexisting conditions and 
ensure choice. We must protect the doctor-patient relationship for 
senior citizens and protect jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
