                        REPEAL HEALTH CARE BILL

  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Madam Speaker, now that Washington leftists have forced 
socialized medicine down the throats of Americans, the British are 
about to abandon it.
  According to a recent report, a large part of the British health 
system is being dismantled by the new government because of 
skyrocketing costs and widespread rationing of care that has long 
plagued the system and its patients. This radical reorganization would 
essentially abolish the 150 bureaucracies who decide who gets health 
care in the system, restoring that decision to its rightful place 
between the doctor and the patient.
  Madam Speaker, as the new British Government prepares to move away 
from government-controlled rationing of health care, President Obama 
and the liberals in Congress are taking our country further down the 
road of socialism. I urge my colleagues to take a lesson from the 
British and work to repeal this disastrous legislation which inserts 
Washington between patients and their doctors.
