“I just saw the insurance industry's latest commercial featuring Harry and Louise, criticizing the President's health care plan. Harry frets about the President's attempt to reform our health care system and Louise says, ``Write to us and get information so you can tell Congress what you think.'' Well, Mr. Speaker, here stands one Member of Congress who has gotten the message and knows exactly what he thinks about the insurance industry and their misleading commercials. Who do they think they are kidding? They want us to believe that the insurance industry cares about ordinary Americans? After years of skyrocketing premiums? After years of excluding people with pre-existing conditions? After years of cancelling policies when someone becomes ill? Mr. Speaker, when the insurance industry talks about health care, it makes me sick.”
