Dems Wham Bam Ma'am

Dems' approach to healthcare. Unveiling a bill as a fait accompli that was arrived at behind closed doors. House GOP response, quick points:

• House Republicans will oppose any effort to pass a sweeping government takeover of health care and are committed to working on bipartisan solutions to fix what is broken.

• After weeks of meeting behind closed doors, Speaker Pelosi has unveiled another government-run health care plan - this one running 1,990 pages long and costing nearly $1 trillion.
  

• The Pelosi health care bill will raise taxes, raise health care costs, add to our national debt, hurting America's seniors, families and small businesses.

• Despite months of town hall meetings and after millions of Americans voiced their opposition to a government takeover of health care, Democrats in Washington didn't get the message.

• According to various studies millions of Americans could lose their current health insurance under a government-run health care plan.

• One recent independent study estimated that younger Americans could see their health care premiums triple and a family of four could see their health care premiums more than double.

• The Congressional Budget Office has testified before Congress that the Democrat health care plan will actually INCREASE health care spending.

• House Republicans and an overwhelming majority of the American people want to pass responsible reform that lowers the cost of health care.

• House Republicans will a offer a positive alternative to Speaker Pelosi's plan for a government takeover of health care, an alternative that the American people support.

• President Obama and Speaker Pelosi need to start over on their health care plan. Republicans are ready to work on bipartisan solutions to health care reform.
