                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. SULLIVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. SULLIVAN. Madam Speaker, higher premiums, higher taxes, and 
cutting Medicare is not health care reform. Republicans care about 
health care, but we don't care for this bill. Unfortunately, the White 
House and congressional Democrats are still insisting on their massive, 
2,700-plus page bill that includes higher premiums, $500 billion in 
higher taxes, and $500 billion in cuts to seniors' Medicare. That is 
not reform.
  There is a reason why Congress has been debating this for a year. The 
reason the majority is having such trouble securing passage is because 
Americans have made it abundantly clear that they don't like this bill 
either. I want to make something clear: killing the Democrat plan for a 
government health care takeover does not kill the health care debate. 
It simply allows us to start from scratch and focus on real solutions 
that will lower the cost of health care for small businesses and 
families across this Nation. Stop this bill.
