Government Takeover Of Healthcare

Floor Speech

Date: Sept. 16, 2009
Location: Washington, DC

Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, during a time of high unemployment, Democrats in Washington propose a government takeover of health care that will lead to even more job losses in a weaker economy.

For months, the American people have looked to Washington for policies that will do no harm to our economy and help put workers back to work. Unfortunately, all we have seen from the President and Democrat-led Congress are record spending, record deficits and record debt.

The American people are looking for real solutions to the challenges we face, not another excuse to spend money and increase the reach of Big Government. Republicans have real solutions, but the people in charge of Congress and the President are ignoring them. It's time for the President and the Democrat-controlled Congress to start over on health care, work to get our economy back on track and accept real solutions.
