first and foremost, Americans think about their families. And when a Washington, DC, politician dreams up something that is clearly going to affect their everyday lives, they think long and hard about it. That is why the Clinton health care plan is doomed to failure. The big question that Americans are asking now is: ``What's this plan going to do to me and my family?'' Well, first, it is going to cost you a lot. The Clinton plan is going to cost billions and billions. And somebody is going to have to pay for it. Guess who? ``Who's going to be in charge?'' Bureaucrats. Lots and lots of government health care bureaucrats. Hardly a comforting thought. ``What about choice? Will we be able to keep are own doctors--our family physician, our pediatrician our ob-gyn, our specialists?'' That is up to the health care bureaucrats. Mr. Speaker, when the Clinton health plan is finally dead and buried, it will be because the President and his advisors have grossly underestimated the American people and the great concern they have for their families. Let us take a look at the Republican health care plan. No taxes. No bureaucrats, and nobody telling you who your doctor is going to be. That is what is good for American families.
