                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, the American people need to know 
what this debate is all about. On one hand, it is a complete takeover 
of the health care system that the Democratic Party is proposing. On 
the other hand, Republicans have offered alternatives to let the 
patients make decisions. In fact, I offered H.R. 3889, which is totally 
private, doesn't raise taxes or anything else.
  Their plan will destroy the economy. It will put 5.5 million people 
out of work. It is going to destroy the doctor-patient relationship. 
Government bureaucrats will be making decisions for every patient. The 
American people need to understand: This is about a government takeover 
of the whole health care system. They need to call their congressman 
and say ``no'' to the Nancy Pelosi steamroller of socialism.
