                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. NEUGEBAUER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEUGEBAUER. Mr. Speaker, yesterday the American people from 
across the country came to the people's House to oppose a government 
takeover of their health care. They said, Washington, no politician or 
bureaucrat should interfere with our choice. And I agree.
  My colleagues and I have an answer for their calls by putting forward 
a commonsense reform, legislation that reduces the deficit, lowers the 
insurance premiums and improves coverage for those with preexisting 
conditions. As a result of the House Republican bill, the CBO now 
confirms that families will see their health care premium reduced by 10 
percent. Hardworking taxpayers can expect deficits to decrease by $68 
billion in the next decade.
  The American people deserve choice. One size fits all does not work 
for them. Speaker Pelosi, the American people have said one thing 
yesterday. I hope you were listening. They said, Kill this bill.
