                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mrs. BACHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, there is one thing that we need to know 
about this health care bill that Speaker Pelosi is putting before the 
American people. It's what President Barack Obama's economic adviser 
Christina Romer said: simply this, if this bill passes it will mean 5.5 
million job losses.
  That's probably why the Wall Street Journal has called this the worse 
bill ever. Epic new spending and taxes, pricier insurance, rationed 
care, dishonest accounting, the Pelosi bill has it all, but even worse, 
in an already downbeat economy, 5.5 million jobs lost. Let's go with 
the positive alternative, which the Republicans have been happy to 
share with the President.
  Let's pass a positive alternative for the American people and not 
have job loss.
