Quote of the Day

"Here are three simple facts to keep in mind about the Democrats' government takeover:

• Health care costs will skyrocket. Make no mistake, a government-run system will cost more than $1 trillion and Washington will have to keep raising taxes, rationing care, and limiting your choices in doctors and treatments to keep up.
• Millions of jobs will be lost. A massive small business tax and crippling penalties will force small businesses to shed jobs or close their doors.
• Millions of Americans will lose their current coverage. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates up to 20 million Americans would remain uninsured, even after spending more than $1 trillion.

Republicans have a real health care solution that will lower health care costs, expand access to high-quality care, and foster new innovations that will save lives - without raising taxes or creating a government "option."

Our plan will make it easier for small businesses to provide affordable coverage, and end the junk lawsuits and wasteful spending that drive up costs."
