The House leadership has put forth their massive 2,000 page health care bill, while there may have been minor tweaking; much of the bill remains the same.
“The plan unveiled today by House Democrats represents more of the same,” said Congressman Duncan Hunter-R CA. “Despite the need for responsible health care reform, this proposal once again amounts to nothing more than a massive government takeover of our health care system.”
There is no question that health care reform is needed and most Americans would like to see some changes, but this package is just too large for the taxpayers to understand.
“The status quo is insufficient, but what has been proposed today comprises a partisan overreach that will destroy the basic foundation of our health care system, eliminate jobs and drive up already record debt levels,” Hunter explained.
Hunter also expressed his disappointment that his amendment to protect small businesses, despite being accepted by the House Education and Labor Committee, was substantially weakened by Democratic leadership.
The legislation also may contain the same loopholes in the prior House bill that will allow illegal immigrants to receive taxpayer-funded benefits.
“When will House Democrats listen to the American people?" says Lamar Smith-R TX.”
The House Democratic leadership doesn't seem to have in included the verification mechanisms in their bill that the Senate Democrats added in order to curb illegal immigrant’s participation in taxpayer-funded health care.
