Rep. Boustany Delivers Republican response to Health Care Address



"Our country is facing many challenges. The cost of health care is rising. Federal spending is soaring. Were piling huge debt on our children. And families and small businesses are struggling through a jobless recovery, with more than 2.4 million private-sector jobs lost since February. Its clear the American people want health care reform, but they want their elected leaders to get it right".

"I read the bill Democrats passed through committee in July. It creates 53 new government bureaucracies, adds hundreds of billions to our national debt, and raises taxes on job-creators by $600 billion. And, it cuts Medicare by $500 billion, while doing virtually nothing to make the program better for our seniors. The President had a chance tonight to take government-run health care off the table. Unfortunately, he didnt do it".
