When they hear from you, it counts. That's how we're going to win.

We have five chairmen on our bill from the Republican conference, and that's very important. We're where we been trying to get to for three years, and that is to say to the leadership: "Listen, let's discuss this and let's come out with a bill this year that protects patients in reference to managed care." That's right where we are.

People have tremendous power, more than the average person understands, and certainly more than even I understood before I came to Congress. When any of my constituents writes me a letter, I promise you, we're listening.

Speaker Newt Gingrich has appointed a task force, which I'm on, and over the next couple months the task force is going to try to come up with legislation that does what we're all trying to do. I feel pretty good about the members that are on the task force.

What we're really trying to do is level out the health care system. It has gotten so one-sided as more and more people have been put into managed care; in fact, about 70 percent of the patients in the country.

If at the end of May we don't, we'll reform, regroup, decide how we're going to go about it, but if the task force can't come up with the bill, I'm going to push mine, and go ahead and make the changes in it that we've been working on now for a year or two and just go for it.

You've had some terrific print information that gets everybody's attention in this town.

Average Americans are going to win this, not me. And not just your organization, not just the providers of health care, but the American people are going to cause this to happen. But they have to keep sending those cards and letters.

There is no question that managed care is managed cost, and the idea is that you can save a lot of money and make health care costs less if you ration it.
