Boozman Votes "No' To Government Takeover Of Health Care

U.S. Representative John Boozman (R-AR) today issued the following statement after voting against a government takeover of healthcare:

"Arkansans and all Americans want health care reform that gives them access to quality and affordable care. Unfortunately, I can't say this legislation accomplishes those goals. This bill still spends an unimaginable amount of money, raises new taxes and cuts Medicare programs without doing anything to contain costs. No matter how you look at this it's not a good deal for America.

It's unfortunate that President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid ignored the will of the American people. I heard them loud and clear and this government takeover of health care is not the health reform they want, need and deserve. The fight is not over. I have started working to fix the damage this legislation will do to our country and will continue to offer solutions for real health reform through free market principles."
