We Need Reforms That Do Not Hurt Small Businesses And Families

Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, as the Senate Finance Committee votes on their version of the health care takeover, the American people see business as usual in Washington--more spending, more government, and more taxes.

The American people are more and more shocked with these big government schemes. They understand that we need a set of reforms that will not hurt small businesses or families through tax penalties and unintelligible government mandates. We do not need thousands of more pages of regulations controlled by a health czar, the most powerful and all-wise person on Earth.

Republicans continue to offer solutions that promote potential of our proven free market system. We can help families and small businesses secure affordable health care regardless of preexisting conditions and ensure choice. We must protect the doctor-patient relationship for senior citizens and protect jobs.

In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
