                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, across the country, the American people have 
been calling for months for Washington to pass responsible reform that 
will lower the cost of health insurance to small business owners, 
working families, and family farms.
  Yesterday, House Republicans answered that call by putting forward 
commonsense legislation that will reduce the deficit, lower health 
insurance premiums, and ensure coverage for those with preexisting 
conditions. You can read all about it by going on 
www.healthcare.gop.gov.
  As a result of the House Republican bill, the nonpartisan 
Congressional Budget Office now confirms, families will see their 
health insurance premiums reduced by up to 10 percent, and hardworking 
taxpayers can expect deficits to decrease by $68 billion over the next 
decade.
  The Pelosi health care plan: more government, more spending, more 
deficits. The Republican plan: less government, lower deficits, and 
lower health insurance premiums.
  That's your choice, America. Let your voice be heard.
