Mr. TIBERI. Mr. Speaker, I am for health care reform, but not this version. This is a bad bill. It does nothing to address the cost of health care. This bill increases taxes on individuals and employers. It cuts Medicare and adds debt to future generations.

But don't take my word for it, Mr. Speaker. My hometown newspaper, The Columbus Dispatch, has published three editorials this last week against the bill suggesting, and I quote, ``It is incredible that a sixth of the U.S. economy and the health of every American could be subjected to massive government intervention based on such fiscal dishonesty and secrecy.''

Mr. Speaker, this bill does nothing to reform our health care system. It adds people to a broken system.
