                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. CHAFFETZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CHAFFETZ. Mr. Speaker, across this country, we have millions of 
people who are concerned. Deep in their bellies, when they go to sleep 
at night, husbands and wives are concerned about putting food on their 
tables; they're concerned about their jobs, their futures, their kids, 
and their country.
  We have an opportunity to help them.
  You listen to the Democratic side of the aisle, and you hear them 
say, Oh, just trust us--$787 billion on the credit card. That will help 
the economy.
  It hasn't.
  Unemployment is getting worse. It's over 10 percent in many parts of 
this country. Cash for Clunkers: Oh, yeah, that will be a great 
program. We'll pull money out of everybody's wallets, and we'll hand it 
to a select few. It hasn't worked.
  I, for one, do not trust the Federal Government, and the one-size-
fits-all, slam-it-down-your-throat Federal solution to government 
health care is not the solution for the United States of America. We 
need Americans across this country to rise up and to say, No, we are 
not going to stand for it anymore. We're going to be in control of our 
government.
  May God bless the United States of America. May God bless the men and 
women, our troops, who are serving across this country.
