                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. HELLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. HELLER. Another day, another missed opportunity. Nevada's 
unemployment rate is at 13 percent. So you have to ask the question: 
Where are the jobs? I do tele-town hall meetings weekly in my district. 
I survey thousands. The question asked is: What should be the priority 
of this Congress? Should it be jobs and the economy or should it be 
health care? Over 80 percent say we should be concentrating on jobs and 
the economy. Instead, the majority leadership wants me to vote for the 
Louisiana purchase or the Cornhusker kickback or the Gator-aid. The 
list goes on and on.
  Despite the majority's effort to hide this vote, the American people 
will not be fooled. The American people know the purpose of this health 
care bill is to make sure all Americans have the same bad health care. 
I encourage my colleagues to listen to the American people, create 
bipartisan health care reform, and get Americans back to work.
