Listening to the last Speaker talk, I am reminded about, and looking at the Clinton care, the Government takeover of our health care system, almost 2 years ago, when they thought they had the answers to the health care problems in America. What was their solution? Well, their solution was taking one-seventh of our GDP, taking control of it and putting together a national health care board, regional health alliances, corporate health alliances, putting an ombudsman in here, and having employer mandates involved. What is our solution? Our solution is private health care, putting together a medical savings account, free market solutions so that we would not have a Government takeover of the health care system as the Democrats have done. Mr. Speaker, I salute the chairman for his leadership in this area.
