                          THE PARTY OF ``NO''

  (Mr. DOYLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. DOYLE. Well, I guess all day we're going to hear from the party 
of ``no,'' no health care plan, no ideas for America.
  To the people who have lost their jobs and can't get health insurance 
because the insurance companies said, No, you have a preexisting 
condition, they say ``no.'' Well, our party has an answer for that. Our 
health care plan will stop that.
  For people in this country who have filed bankruptcy because 
insurance companies stopped paying on their chronic conditions, this 
party over here says ``no.'' Well, Democrats say ``yes.'' Our health 
care bill will cure that.
  For our senior citizens who need help with their drugs and closing 
the doughnut hole, the party of ``no'' doesn't have a plan. This health 
care bill will help close the doughnut hole.
  So I say to my friends over there, the negative nabobs of negativity, 
``no'' is not a solution for America. Democrats have a plan that will 
cover all Americans and provide health care and reform this insurance 
industry that has abused so many people in this country.
