Jack Kingston: “proponents of the President's health care plan have been bombarding the leery American public with a PR campaign…”

“proponents of the President's health care plan have been bombarding the leery American public with a PR campaign entitled ``Tell that to the Joe Blow constituent stories,'' and it is always a scenario which is a good scenario about the need for health care reform. But the irony is nobody is debating the need for health care reform. The debate is, Is the crisis so big that we need to socialize medicine or is it such that the free-market-targeted reforms will do the trick? The Michel plan targets reforms and allows the free market to be free, to have competition, and the Clinton plan basically socializes medicine. I truly believe that there are a lot of people who have heartbreak stories out there that we need to help, and the Michel plan is aimed at helping them. We are not debating the need for reform. We are debating socialized medicine.”
