“I ask my colleagues, ``have you ever taken your car in for a simple repair and come out with a bill for hundreds-- or thousands--of dollars and your car runs worse than before?'' Well, I am afraid that is what will happen when Bill's health care repair clinic gets through with us. Yes, our health care delivery vehicle is in need of a good tune-up to make it more efficient. But, by the time Bill Clinton and his policy wonks get through with their overhaul, I am afraid our health care system will not resemble the Cadillac that we started with. I fear that we will get back something which has all of the efficiency of a Winnebago and the quality of Yugo. And I fear that Bill's bill will come to billions and billions of dollars that we do not have. Mr. Speaker, I think Congress needs to read the fine print before we give our health care vehicle to Mr. Clinton's crew.”
