                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. HERGER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HERGER. Mr. Speaker, we need the facts about this massive 2,000-
page prescription for government-run health care. Financial experts at 
the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and other independent 
analyses have found that the Democrat plan for government-run health 
care will not only fail to reduce skyrocketing health care costs, it 
will actually increase them. Now with a vote looming on one of the most 
important bills to come through this Chamber in our Nation's history, 
I'm urging Speaker Pelosi to allow time for a proper analysis on how 
her bill will affect us in the long term instead of keeping Congress 
and the American people in the dark on the impact of government-run 
health care.
