Sen. Cornyn: That may not be much to Washington elites but it would be devastating for middle class families and small businesses

WASHINGTONU.S. Sen. John Cornyn R-Texas a member of the Senate Finance Committee today released the following statement regarding the non-partisan and independent Congressional Budget Offices fresh analysis on the effect of the Reid health care bill on health care premiums:
The whole point of health care reform is to lower costs for American families so its unfathomable that Harry Reid and Senate Democrats would try to push through a bill that will increase family premiums by $2100 a year.
That may not be much to Washington elites but it would be devastating for middle class families and small businesses. President Obama made a solemn pledge that health care reform would lower health care premiums $2500 a year for American families. Thats one campaign promise of his that must not fall through the cracks."
