                           HEALTH CARE SUMMIT

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the President 
missed an important opportunity to restart the national debate on 
health care reform. Americans who tuned into this health care summit 
were disappointed that they were left with the same Big Government 
health care takeover.
  The American people are facing waves of Groundhog Day, as they have 
already rejected this type of government health care takeover.
  There are substantive alternatives to consider. Republicans have 
offered 70 different health care bills to the Washington liberal 
majority. With 14.8 million Americans out looking for work, Congress 
should not be taking over a health care system that will destroy jobs, 
which the National Federation of Independent Business says will kill 
1.6 million more jobs.
  It's time to come to consensus on responsible health care elements 
that both parties agree on, and then move on to focus on job creation 
policies.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
  Best wishes for the continued success of the Historically Black 
Colleges and Universities of South Carolina.
