                         RECOVERY ACT DIAGNOSIS

  (Mr. BROUN of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BROUN of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I'm a family doctor. I have 
examined the Pelosi and Reid health care bills, and I have made a 
diagnosis, and the American people need to listen up to this diagnosis.
  If you like your health insurance today, the price is going to 
skyrocket, and you're not going to be able to keep it eventually. If 
you're on Medicare, you're going to have a hard time finding a doctor 
that will accept Medicare because of the massive cuts. If you're a 
veteran and dependent upon TRICARE, forget it.
  Mr. Speaker, my prescription is that we need to trash the Reid and 
Pelosi health care bills, work in a bipartisan manner, do this in an 
incremental way to lower the cost to everybody, and work to make 
something that makes sense for the American public and keeps the good 
quality health care we have in America.
