                              HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, I went online and got the President's 
proposal here, and it is 11 pages, and it is a summary. And then I got 
the summary of the summary, and it looks like it is about 19 pages 
summarizing the 11 pages. So I guess we are creating jobs by trying to 
do summaries of the summaries of the summaries. That is not good 
enough. People are out of work.
  We heard last year, a year ago that if we did not pass the stimulus 
bill, the porkulus bill, if that didn't pass, unemployment might go as 
high as 8.5 percent. God, would that we would be there instead of where 
we are today.
  This is not going to create jobs. It is going to suck more money out 
of the economy that government uses that the businesses will not have 
to create jobs. Let's help America. Let's put people back to work so 
they can afford their own health care.
