we do need health care reform. But we do not want to destroy the best health care system in the world. What we need is a way to make health care insurance available to more people. And that, Mr. Speaker, does not require a huge new Government bureaucracy. We can solve our health care problems tomorrow--or at least next month--if we do just three things: First, make all insurance portable so people will not lose their insurance if they change or lose their jobs. Second, require all employers to offer insurance to their employees; and third, give people tax credits or vouchers to help pay for insurance. Mr. Speaker, the President's policy wonks love to propose solutions to problems. Unfortunately, when it comes to health care, their proposals require advanced calculus when simple arithmetic will do just fine.
