BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. ADERHOLT. Mr. Speaker, there is no question we need to address health care problems in this Nation. That is something both Democrats and Republicans both agree on.

However, the government takeover of health care that we are debating tonight adds up to way too much spending, too much government bureaucracy, too many unfair mandates, too much government control in an area with where government just doesn't belong.

The Republican substitute is about to be debated tonight, and it will attempt to fix the broken aspects of health care in the United States. There will be many of us tonight in this Chamber who will vote ``yes'' on that Republican substitute because there needs to be changes. However, we will vote ``no'' on final passage because we don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water in order to fix the problems.
