     MORE COSTLY DISCLOSURES ABOUT GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE TAKEOVER

  (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, more costly disclosures 
continue to come out about the government health care takeover. And why 
should we be surprised, when Speaker Pelosi told the American people 
that we need to--and I quote--``pass the bill so we can find out what 
is in it''?
  The more we find out, the worse it looks. The latest analysis by the 
nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reveals that the health care 
takeover will cost at least $115 billion more than originally 
estimated. This follows last month's CMS report that highlighted health 
care costs will increase by $311 billion over the next 10 years, and 
will force millions of seniors off their current Medicare coverage.
  Washington must stop promising one thing and delivering another, 
particularly when it comes to price tags. If Congress continues to drag 
its feet, runaway deficits and unsustainable debt are sure to cripple 
our economy and would lead us down the same path as Greece.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism. My sympathy to the 
family of Betty Jackson Mack of Gaston, South Carolina.
