                  HEALTH CARE TAKEOVER COSTS TOO MUCH

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, as backroom deals and 
threats continue to force a health care takeover vote, the costs from 
the Congressional Budget Office have just been released of nearly $1 
trillion. State leaders across the country have recognized that this 
takeover could bankrupt our great Nation.
  Just yesterday, the State treasurer for Massachusetts, Tim Cahill, 
said, ``If President Obama and the Democrats repeat the mistakes of the 
health insurance mandate in Massachusetts on a national level, they 
will bankrupt this country within 4 years.''
  Other State leaders have expressed great concerns about unfunded 
mandates. South Carolina is one of 36 legislatures considering barring 
individuals from being compelled to purchase health insurance. I 
applaud State leaders who are fighting Big Government mandates which 
the NFIB estimates will kill 1.6 million jobs.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
