                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. COBLE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COBLE. Madam Speaker, this past weekend I visited with four of my 
six counties in North Carolina--Moore, Guilford, Davidson, and Rowan 
counties--hundreds of people, and without exception, no one spoke in 
favor of this bill. Increased taxes, they said to me, increased costs. 
The heavy-handed way in which it's been administered, as if to say, By 
golly, this is the bill you're going to get whether you like it or not.
  Madam Speaker, this proposal is a train wreck waiting to occur. We 
need no train wrecks.
  I will admit that some attention needs to be directed to the delivery 
of health care in this Nation, but this is not the appropriate vehicle 
to deliver it. We need to scrap this bill and start anew with a sound 
proposal.
