Washington D.C.-Congressman Randy Neugebauer wrote to Speaker Nancy Pelosi renewing his call for an open and transparent process that gives all Members the chance to properly review the final health care legislation and prepare and offer amendments.
Yesterday we saw the Senate Finance Committee approve legislation that will increase health care premiums raise taxes and endanger the health care coverage Americans already have. The American people want reform but not in the shape of a bill that would impose nearly $400 billion in new taxes and put health care into the hands of the federal government.
To make matters worse the legislation House Democrat leaders are putting together to bring to the floor is being discussed behind close doors without any transparency. This is unacceptable. The American people deserve to know exactly what their health care reform is going to look like.
Today I sent a letter to Speaker Pelosi requesting more transparency on behalf of the American people. The Speaker must allow all Members enough time to review the combined bill text have a full budget score and write amendments. She cannot continue to shut Members out of this process and limit their ability to represent constituent viewpoints.
Attached to the letter I have also included all the comments I received from my Coffee with the Congressman events in August. I believe its important the Speaker know exactly how the people of the 19th Congressional District feel about her government-run health care. Although she chooses to ignore Republicans shes going to have to start listening to her boss the American taxpayers."
