                           HEALTH CARE REFORM

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, I want to address some of the misstatements 
that have been made. I am also tired of the partisan bickering. I came 
in thinking that the Democrats who said, We want to work together, were 
serious.
  We have been locked out of every single discussion except when the 
President came to preach to us, and he misrepresented it. Not 
intentionally, not lying, perhaps somebody who gave him the information 
was, but he wasn't. This bill that we're going to vote on starts with a 
lie. It says, This is an act that will modify first-time homebuyers 
credit in the case of members of the Armed Forces and other purposes. 
It started with deceit.
  Telling people they are going to have insurance, man, if that's true, 
if we can save money by adding 30 million people to our rolls, we need 
to go insure everybody in China and then we will be done with the 
deficit. This bill is a disaster. Seventy-plus percent of the American 
people want us to throw it out and start over. Let's listen to the 
people.
