according to a new poll, 8 in 10 Americans fear the quality of their health care will decline under the Clinton health care plan. That is 80 percent, and the American people are right. The Clinton plan, with its farfetched global budget ratcheted in and its disincentive for medical research, will irreparably harm the American health care system. In fact, some have called it the no-choice plan--no choice in physicians, no choice in hospitals, no choice in providers, and no choice who is going to go to medical school on scholarships, all kinds of no choices for American consumers and all kinds of power for the bureaucracy. Futhermore, the employer mandates will mean one thing--loss of jobs. Mr. Speaker, the American people are right about the Clinton plan. The more they understand it, the more they do not like it. Let us go with the Michel alternative which reforms only those parts of our health care system that are broken and does not sacrifice American jobs.
