                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, it's March. That means March madness. 
Normally it means hoops and basketball, but, no, in this United States 
Congress it means more and more false statements made about health 
care. The other side of the aisle continues in March madness, talking 
about socialism, comparing our system to England and Canada. Nothing 
like it at all. What our system proposes is subsidizing people who 
don't have health care and small businesses to make sure they get 
health care and can live truly: life, health, liberty, and the pursuit 
of happiness.
  They talk about abortion. It doesn't change the Hyde amendment, which 
has been on the books forever. They talk about procedure, procedure 
they used. They talk about creeping socialism. There is nothing about 
socialism. The fact is this country is the last industrialized country 
in the world to provide health care for its citizens. It's the right 
thing to do. We will be proud of this Congress when we pass it. I wish 
it was bipartisan.
