To the people of the 19th Congressional District and America, I have heard your voice. I heard you in August and I hear you now. I understand you’re mad and frustrated about the political circus occurring in Washington. Enough is enough. Today, Speaker Pelosi heard you loud and clear.
We don’t want a government takeover of our health care. Rather, we need a balanced approach that puts patients first. We need real answers that make sense in the real world. Health care reform must be based on competition, preserve the relationship between doctors and patients, and reduce health care costs for American families without a massive government intrusion.
My colleagues and I are on the side of the American people. We have answered your calls for reform by putting forward common-sense health care legislation that reduces the deficit, lowers insurance premiums, and improves coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.
As your voice in Congress, I will continue to fight for the choice you deserve. A one-size-fits-all plan will not work. You know what is best for your families better than the government does.
Speaker Pelosi, listen to the American people. Health care is too important to get wrong.
