On the recordMay 11, 2004
I rise today to ask how the Republicans will provide health care to millions of uninsured and unemployed Americans through the majority's Hire Our Workers program. American families are facing over 2 million jobs lost since January 2001, outsourcing of jobs overseas by companies that do not seem to care about hard-working Americans, and a political party that has dropped the ball on education, seniors, and health care. It is ironic, then, that the acronym of the Republican plan is H-O-W. Tell me, Mr. Speaker, how do they plan to provide affordable health care to 8.5 million uninsured children? How do they plan to explain the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation report that one in four Texans have no health insurance? It is high time we ditch these short-term fixes and instead focus on long-term, economically responsible solutions for hard-working Americans.
