my colleagues, the jury is in on the Clinton health care bill. The American people have spoken loudly and clearly, and it is time to proclaim the Clinton health care bill as dead. That is d-e-a-d, dead. Why? Because the American people do not want the Government to take control of the Nation's health care system. The American people do not want to pay more and get less when it comes to health care. Third, the American people do not want to pay higher taxes, so that we can try to fix what is not wrong with America's health care system. It is time to give this health care bill from the President a proper burial, a funeral. Let us bless it and let us move on with a real debate about how we can fix the problems in today's health care system without throwing out the baby with the bath water.
