                          HEALTH CARE TAKEOVER

  (Mrs. SCHMIDT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHMIDT. Mr. Speaker, on March 20, the majority in this body 
passed a bill that the American public knew was going to cost too much 
and not really effectively address the problems with health care; but 
despite claims made to the contrary, this body did pass the bill.
  Just recently, the President's own administration said that the 
massive government takeover of our health care system will actually 
increase health care costs, not decrease them. And yet while costs 
increase, this administration admits that the health care takeover will 
still leave 23 million people, Americans, without insurance.
  The best way to increase the number of insured Americans is to 
decrease health care costs, something this bill did not do. The 
President's own administration says the Democratic health care takeover 
does just the opposite, increases costs and doesn't cover every 
American. This is not what the people want.
