On the recordMarch 28, 1996
No, it is not extreme to let the American people have medical savings accounts so that they can decide how to spend their health care dollars. Mr. Speaker, the fact is that will help American taxpayers and the hard-working men and women of America immeasurably, and once again, Mr. Speaker, it comes down to this basic question: Why should we be afraid to let the American people have control of their own money, have control of their own future, and again, Mr. Speaker, it comes down to this question: Who do we trust; the people of the United States or the Washington bureaucrats? Mr. Speaker, I trust the people of the United States.
