The Democrats willful disregard for the views of their constituents has led us to this frustrating end: a bill chock full of higher taxes and insurance premiums that allows an unconstitutional power grab by the federal government. It was disappointing to see the majority voting against commonsense changes to the bill that would have ensured our wounded soldiers would not see higher prices and significantly lowered the cost of healthcare to provide more affordable options for the uninsured."
--U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison
