Boozman Statement On New' Health Care Bill
U.S. Representative John Boozman (R-AR) today issued the following statement after Speaker Pelosi introduced the latest health care plan, crafted with input from a select number of Congressional members, behind closed doors.
"This new plan unveiled by Speaker Pelosi and leaders of the majority follows weeks of meeting behind closed doors. After the concern Americans have voiced in the past three months on the health care proposal there has been little change to the legislation introduced in July.
I am committed to reforming our health care system through commonsense solutions that contain costs, but this bill will add to our national debt, hurt seniors and falls on the backs of small businesses and hardworking American families. We can fix what is broken in our health care system while keeping what works, without introducing a massive government takeover. I will continue to fight on behalf of responsible health care solutions Americans support."
