BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, at some point every American will see a doctor or require some form of emergency care. Whether it is the birth of a child or an aging parent sick with cancer, families are praying for the best health care possible for their loved ones. But right now, Democrats are pushing for a government takeover of health care that would severely limit many patients' access to life-saving treatment.

House Republicans know that health care run by government bureaucrats doesn't work, because it has been tried and failed in other countries. Tragedies result when government controls health care and makes decisions best left to doctors and their patients.

Republicans will offer a better plan for health care reform, one that provides patients and their families with the peace of mind that comes with having the care they need when they need it.
