Thousands of Nevadans have been surveyed and an overwhelming number oppose the government takeover of health care. Yet two-thirds of Nevada's delegation will defy their constituents and vote with their leadership instead. This $2.6 trillion legislation will raise Nevada taxes, kill Nevada jobs, remove Nevada seniors from Medicare, and saddle the State of Nevada with budget-busting mandates. I urge my colleagues from Nevada to speak for Nevada--not their Beltway benefactors--when casting their vote today.
