                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. INGLIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. INGLIS. Mr. Speaker, lacking a collaborative process, we 
unfortunately must simply oppose the Pelosi health care bill. This bill 
has within it a public option to which Members of Congress aren't 
subject. It has a comingling of taxpayer funds for abortion services, 
tax increases, benefit cuts, especially for Medicare Advantage. And, in 
leaving the $245 billion doctor fix out of the bill and put in a 
separate bill, it really makes a mockery of what the President said 
here when he said not one dime will be added to the deficit.
  The bill also has no appreciable attempt at medical malpractice 
reform and actually tries to avoid State limits imposed by State 
legislatures.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill simply must be voted down, we start over and 
try to find a collaborative process, and come up with something that 
will work for America.
