                     HEALTH CARE COSTS TO INCREASE

  (Mr. JORDAN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House

[[Page 6389]]

for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JORDAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, imagine this: The Democrats' health 
care bill will not reduce health care costs, but actually increase 
them. That's right. According to CMS, the costs will increase over $300 
billion. It brings to mind Yogi Berra's line: this is deja vu all over 
again.
  Of course, taxpayers and families knew this would happen. Any time 
you have a big government, Washington-based program, it always costs 
more than advertised. The CMS findings underscore what taxpayers and 
families across this country understand: we need to repeal this bill 
and replace it with the right kind of reform.
