The Public Record
Michael Clifton Burgess is an American politician and physician who has served as the U.S. Representative for Texas's 26th congressional district since 2003. A member of the Republican Party, Burgess has focused on healthcare policy, leveraging his medical background to inform his legislative work. He has been involved in various committees and has advocated for issues such as medical research and veterans' healthcare. Burgess has also been a vocal supporter of conservative fiscal policies and has participated in discussions surrounding healthcare reform.
One of the most egregious provisions of the Democratic healthcare bill is that it relates to the Federal funding of abortion.
This bill is a socialist proposal that threatens freedom of choice and would allow Washington to impose one-size-fits-all plans on the American people.
So that was a great example of bipartisan cooperation to correct a major problem that we had with delivery of our healthcare.
it is unclear that this new bill is going to solve any of our problems, and it is questionable how it is even going to be paid for.
I didn't give up a 25-year medical career to come up here and sit on the sidelines while you all do this.
I worry about it, because of the number of times it says in that bill the Secretary shall, the Secretary shall.
If such cuts become law, the Medicare for All truly would become nothing more than a program that provided minimal care in exchange for astronomically high taxes and much longer wait times.
the majority's highest priority in Congress, which is, in my view, putting everyone in a one-size-fits-all government-run health plan that will double everybody's taxes, eliminate choice, and put Medicare at risk.
I think that if we did work in a bipartisan fashion, we actually could get things done.
