Madam Speaker, Ronald Reagan once said the most terrifying words in the English language are, ``I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'' This is exactly what Washington liberals are trying to tell the American people. The scheme that the government can give everyone free health care is a fairy tale which defies history and reality. The reality is there are real and affordable ways to improve the health care financing system, and Republicans presented 70 such proposals. Proposals like H.R. 3400 will make health care accessible and affordable, covering preexisting conditions, promoting employer-sponsored insurance, and offers insurance across State lines. The Pelosi bill will kill 1.6 million jobs according to the National Federation of Independent Business. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Citizens can make a difference, like Chuck Stauck of Hilton Head Island, with Ann Bull, Brenda Maxwell, and Lynn Dempsey of Lexington, South Carolina. ____________________
