In advance of today’s House Ways and Means Committee hearing to discuss the House Democrats’ health care proposal, Wisconsin’s 1st District Congressman Paul Ryan, co-author of The Patients’ Choice Act, issued the following statement:
“The House Democrats’ proposal is being sold as one that contains costs, gets a grip on our entitlement crisis, and allows those that like what they have to keep it. Yet again, the gap between what they are saying and what they are doing is nothing short of astounding, as what they’ve actually put forward would impose trillions of dollars in new spending, taxes, and debt, would create a new open-ended entitlement, and would force millions of Americans to lose the coverage they currently enjoy. Despite promises and pledges of fiscal responsibility, the Democrats don’t even pretend to level with the American people on who they plan to tax to pay for their proposals.
While ABC prepares to pander to President Obama’s health care plan, the rest of the world wonders how the heck we are going to pay for it. This time it is apparent, even to those who voted for “Change,” that P.BO is in over his head. Not only is he gearing up to screw up health care, but he is moving to destroy America’s economy with Cap and Trade, and endanger our troops and citizens with botched foreign policy decisions and more apologies to Terrorists.
Now would be a good time to contact your US Senators and Congressmen and tell them to vote against this horrible plan.
It would also be a great time to get involved in the political system. If you are not a member of a local republican party, please join today. We are going to face serious challenges in 2010 and 2012 and we need your help. If you have been on the fence, it is time to get off.Technorati Tags: Cap and Trade, ABC, Barack Obama, PBO, Health Care
