                 NO GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE

  (Mr. BUCHANAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BUCHANAN. Mr. Speaker, as most people know, Warren Buffett was an 
early adviser to President Obama. Just this week, Buffett said the 
President should scrap the health care bill and start over. He noted 
the American people are not behind this bill. He said the goal is to 
lower cost. I completely agree with Mr. Buffett. The American people 
don't want a trillion dollar government takeover of health care. Also, 
people don't want to raise taxes, cut Medicare, and giveaways to 
Washington special interests.
  We need to reduce costs by taking a few simple steps: one, medical 
malpractice reform; two, increase competition; three, sell insurance 
across State lines; four, expand health savings accounts. That is a 
prescription the American people will support.
