I think the American people need to know that socialism never has worked, never will work, and we've got people here in Washington who are so arrogant, so ignorant, so incompetent that they will think that their brand of socialism is going…
We keep hearing from the President, we want to tax the rich. Most small businesses in this country file their income taxes individually because they're sub S corporations, which means that their income taxes are filed individually, as a…
But this new proposal that President Obama has put forward is going to extend the Louisiana Purchase to every State. Now, the governors are going to love that, and the State legislatures are going to love that, because what it's going to…
The American people say, ``What? You're not including doctors who are taking care of patients? How are you going to form a health care system?''
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am a medical doctor. I have practiced medicine in Georgia for almost four decades. As a medical doctor with all of that clinical experience--I'm a family doc, a primary care provider. I've examined the proposal…
In fact, my health care overhaul bill, H.R. 3889, expands health savings accounts, creates Medicare health savings accounts. So it puts Medicare patients in charge of their own dollars, and they own those dollars. And those dollars, if…
Thank you, Dr. Cassidy. One other thing that I want to add, too; not only is it less expensive, people can afford to buy insurance where before they had not been able to. They use more preventative services, but they take care of…
I introduced H.R. 3889, a comprehensive bill, a little over a hundred pages, that totally would change health care financing in America and it would give patients the power to make the decisions along with their doctor. I wrote the…
It is the tyranny of the majority. And it's tyranny that destroys freedom and liberty in this country. And I say liberty and freedom. Let me define liberty for you, Mr. Speaker, because I see them differently. Liberty is freedom bridled by…
In Psalm 11, God asks a question. He says, ``If the foundations be destroyed, what are the righteous to do?'' Well, the Constitution of the United States was obviously the foundation of this country. But if you think about it, if it is a…
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. They say that talk is cheap, but for hardworking Americans, the President's talk is very expensive. President Obama has spent the past year making speech after speech about the need for Washington to restore fiscal…
I submit the Republican Party is the party of k-n-o-w, know, because we know how to lower the cost of health care. I introduced a bill--that's H.R. 3889--which is a comprehensive health care financing reform, and we put doctors and…
I was honored to sign the Declaration of Health Care Independence. But what I want to say is the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States cannot be separated. And in fact, the Declaration of Independence in…
Well, Mrs. Lummis is exactly right. And that's the point I'm trying to make is that if you like your insurance you can't keep it. It's going to be too expensive. And this plan that the President has put forward is going to push everybody…
I went on the White House Web site this morning and looked at all of the parameters that were put forth, and I was looking for some legislative language. There's no bill. All they've put out is bullet points. So I went down through all…
Well, you are right. They are absolutely entrenched in the philosophy that they know best: The government needs to control everything. Well, there is a word for that. It's called socialism, central planning. That is exactly what many…
In Hosea 4:6, God tells us, ``My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge.'' Unfortunately, people all over this country have a tremendous lack of knowledge about how much liberty and freedom we've lost in this country. Now, I…
What does it mean to the American citizen about this bill? Not only that it is unconstitutional, which it is. But if you have private insurance, the cost is going to go up. We have been told by our President: If you like your health…
When they say something is transparent, they mean opaque. When they say that there is a new era of openness, that means secrecy. That is exactly what we're seeing. It's unfair to the American public. It's unfair to their representatives…
Well, Dr. Gingrey, thanks for yielding back. And you are exactly right, the American people were promised many things by this Speaker: transparency, openness, the new era of a clean government with a prosecution of corruption. Nothing…
Well, this is not about health care. It's about the government. It's about government control. It's about government telling people how to live, government making decisions for us. It's taking away our liberty. And we see right now New…
As to the deals that are being struck, from everything we understand in my language, when people are threatened with harm if they don't go in a certain direction, that's called ``extortion.'' If somebody is offered a perk or money or…
Please don't do that. The threat is very real, and I am looking forward to hearing an actual plan for what the President intends to do with the terrorists that are being detained in Guantanamo.
Putting more and more of a mandatory burden on our producers when they are already strained as they are today, it is going to be counterproductive.
