                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. BRADY of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRADY of Texas. Madam Speaker, now we know. Speaker Pelosi has 
released her final health care bill and scheduled a vote within a week. 
The Pelosi plan is a 2,000-page, $1 trillion, unapologetic, full-
throated government takeover of America's health care system.
  I am devoting every waking hour to stopping this bill, which will 
interject government into the most intimate health care decisions, 
drive up costs in the deficit, force millions of people into a 
government-run plan, raise taxes on professionals and small businesses, 
open the door to taxpayer-funded abortions, provide care for illegal 
immigrants, and exempt Members of Congress.
  I call on every American who cares about our Nation to engage now in 
every district and every community in every way. These moments come but 
once in a lifetime. For our children and their future, the time for 
freedom, the time for action is now.
