Political Quotes

“I rise today in support of House Bill 2. This simple two-page bill seeks to repeal the new unconstitutional health care law that will create a massive new entitlement program, cost taxpayers more than $2 trillion per decade, increase taxes, and impose job-destroying mandates on businesses, cut Medicare by hundreds of billions of dollars, and further increase health care premiums for individuals by more than 10 percent. The goal is not only to repeal the new health care law, but also to replace it with real reforms, debated openly through the ordinary legislative process, that are truly about reducing health care costs-- reforms such as allowing small businesses and individuals to join together in national group plans to cut premium costs; allowing individuals to purchase health insurance across State lines, thereby increasing competition for their businesses; and enacting medical malpractice liability reform legislation. I will continue to push for commonsense reforms that are focused on truly reducing health care costs for all Americans. I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 2.”
