                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

voting on evidently Saturday night is going to destroy our economy. It 
is going to destroy jobs. In fact, the President's own economic adviser 
says 5.5 million people will lose their jobs if this bill becomes law.
  Mr. Speaker, the American people need to read the bill and need to 
know what is in it. It is being forced down the throats of the American 
people. Mr. Speaker, this is a dead, rotten, stinking fish that the 
Speaker is trying to force down the throats of the American people 
before they have an opportunity to see it. I encourage the American 
people to know what is going on here and to tell their Congressman that 
they reject the insurance mandate that is proposed by the Speaker in 
the Speaker's health insurance mandate bill.
