Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Speaker, this discussion tonight reminds me of a courtroom scene with Jack Nicholson in ``A Few Good Men'': The truth? You can't handle the truth. Mr. Speaker, we have shown the other side how premiums are going up, 200 percent and 300 percent. We've told them about the loss of jobs, that we lost full-time jobs; the unions don't like it; we've lost innovation; we have enormous tax increases. They just don't hear it. Mr. Speaker, the American people are not lemmings, and they don't want to follow the lemmings going off the cliff. Mr. Speaker, it's time that we recheck this and stop this crazy, delusional idea that nationalized, centralized planning will work.
