U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell made the following statement Monday on the need to listen to the American people on health care reform:

"Higher premiums, higher taxes, and more government--that's not reform. But that's precisely what the American people, the Congressional Budget Office and now outside experts have identified with this trillion-dollar experiment that cuts Medicare, raises taxes and premiums, and threatens the health care options that millions of Americans enjoy. I think we ought to listen to the American people, rather than trying to jam through another 1,000-page bill."
