Reconciliation Act Of 2010

Floor Speech

* Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, we are all here because we want to do what is best for our constituents, our State, and our country. All of us in this chamber understand the importance of health care reform no matter what side of the aisle we sit on. We've all heard stories and know of family members, friends and neighbors who aren't able to get the care they need at a cost they can afford. Like my constituents and all Americans I want reforms that save lives, save money, and improve care. Unfortunately, this bill doesn't reach those goals.

* We must remember that we work for the people. I think some of us have forgotten who our bosses are. It's not President Obama, Speaker PELOSI or Senator REID, it's the American people. There is no doubt that the people have spoken loud and clear against this big government health care bill. If you need a reminder, go look out the window of the Capitol where you can see the opposition to this bill mounting.

* I urge my colleagues to do what the overwhelming majority of Americans want and that is to kill this bill.
