                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Mr. Speaker, the majority of my constituents believe the 
United States has the world's best delivery of health care services. I 
concur. These same constituents are not averse to reform, but they fear 
the Pelosi health care plan will leave the gate wide open for the 
introduction of an overwhelming governmental involvement. I believe 
that fear is well founded.
  Our health care system, Mr. Speaker, may well need some adjusting, 
some fine-tuning. What it does not need is a major overhaul. The Pelosi 
plan is, indeed, a major overhaul and should be rejected.
