Washington DC Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-32) today released the following statement regarding House Democrats health care tax bill:
Today House Democrats released their prescription for Americans health care: a government takeover resulting in higher costs more taxes fewer choices and intervention in the patient-doctor relationship.
During a deep recession and historic 9.5 percent unemployment unaffordable health care only deepens the financial and personal crises many American families are facing today. Yet the Majority has produced a job-killing government-mandated health care plan financed on the backs of every American family senior citizen small business and employer. With a price tag of over $1 Trillion dollars the Democrats plan would cut Medicare options for seniors and raise taxes on any employer or individual who does not embrace a government-run health care program. The result: an additional 4.7 million Americans could lose their jobs.
More than 100 million Americans will lose their current private health insurance under a government-run health care system. Unsurprisingly when the government competes with the private sector patients lose and the government wins. By diminishing patient-choice government-run health care empowers Washington to decide the access and care patients receive from their doctors.
This is not change that Americans families and small businesses can afford.
My Republican colleagues and I are committed to a common-sense bipartisan solution to our nations current health care problems. Instead of increasing taxes and killing jobs we support patient-centered reforms that make health care more affordable reduce the number of uninsured and increase quality at a price all Americans can afford. We promote prevention and wellness while preserving patient choice and the right of patients and their doctors not Washington bureaucrats to make personal health care decisions.
I strongly oppose Washington-run and government-mandated health care for American families. I call on Democrats in Congress to work with Republicans in promoting real reform that provides every American access to affordable patient-centered and quality health care of their choice."
