Dan Sullivan: “Higher premiums, higher taxes, and cutting Medicare is not health care reform. Republicans care about health care, but…”

On the recordMarch 21, 2010
Higher premiums, higher taxes, and cutting Medicare is not health care reform. Republicans care about health care, but we don't care for this bill. Unfortunately, the White House and congressional Democrats are still insisting on their massive 2,700-page bill that includes higher premiums, $500 billion in higher taxes, and $500 billion in cuts to senior Medicare. My son, who's here this week, Tommy Sullivan, even can consider that that's not reform.
