Washington D.C.- Congressman Randy Neugebauer delivered the following remarks today on the House floor in opposition to the Democrat plan for a government takeover of health care that will significantly cut seniors health care coverage:
The people of my district are frustrated and scared. They feel like government is out of control. To make matters worse Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat Majority are now sitting behind close doors writing a massive government overhaul of our entire health care system which today roughly accounts for one-fifth or 20 of our entire economy.
The American people would like to know what Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat Majority are hiding.
Perhaps they are hiding a bill that will lead to government bureaucrats taking control of seniors health care? Or a bill designed to include $163 billion in cuts to Medicare Advantage? These cuts will have an exceptionally harmful impact on seniors in rural areas forcing many seniors into a one-size-fits-all government-run health plan.
Unfortunately I dont know. I havent seen any details on this bill. If the Speakers claim is true that Americans want the government to take over their health care why is this process so closed and secretive? The American people and our nations seniors deserve better."
