                              MAKE MY DAY

  (Mr. FILNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. FILNER. My Republican friends need to chill out. The previous 
speaker said this is a government takeover of a health care system. 
Come on. Let it go. We've got a private system here. We've got a 
private system of insurance. We've got private hospitals, we've got 
private doctors. This system is a private system. What government 
takeover is there?
  She keeps talking about a government bureaucrat getting between you 
and your doctor. What we have now is an insurance bureaucrat between us 
and our health providers. What we do is remove that. And if you want to 
repeal this bill, make my day. Try to repeal it.
  Repeal the fact that small businesses are going to get tax credits 
right away. Repeal the fact that our children, who have preexisting 
conditions, will be able to be insured right away. Repeal the fact that 
we won't have any more

preexisting conditions to prevent health insurance.
  Make my day.
