Republicans have a health care bill that ensures affordability, accessibility and ensures that preexisting conditions will not deny an individual health care coverage any longer. It makes health care more affordable to small businesses and to the self-employed and allows them to set up medical savings accounts. It allows tax deductions for long-term health care needs, and it fights fraud and abuse with tough new provisions. Mr. Speaker there are only two people standing between the American people and more affordable and available health care, and that is President Bill Clinton and Senator Ted Kennedy, and, Mr. Speaker, how long will they stand in the way and deny the American people these much needed reforms?
