Go get 'em, John! Huge h/t to Chet at PIN!  You rock, bro.

House Leader John Boehner (OH): The
American people have spoken. Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have
ignored them.  Through the month of August, the American people let
Members of Congress from both parties know that they didn’t want a
government takeover of health care.  That hasn’t changed.

But instead of listening to the American people, Democrats hid
behind closed doors and came back with a bill designed to appease the
liberal special interests.  Three things about Speaker Pelosi’s health
care bill are already clear: it will raise the cost of Americans’
health insurance premiums; it will kill jobs with tax hikes and new
mandates; and it will cut seniors’ Medicare benefits.  The fact that it
weighs in at nearly 2,000 pages – more than 620 pages longer than the
government takeover of health care Hillary Clinton proposed in 1993 –
is as good an indication as any of just how costly and unsustainable
Speaker Pelosi’s proposal is.

There is a better way.  Republicans have offered solutions to lower
health care costs and expand access at a cost our nation can afford. 
You can read about them at healthcare.gop.gov.  Democrats need to
listen to the American people, and work with us on the real reforms
families want and need.

Rep. Phil Roe (TN):
While I will be reading the 1900+ page bill over the next week to find
out what other problems are buried in the text, one thing is clear – 
this bill will lead to decreased access to care, decreased quality of
care, and increased cost to beneficiaries.  It needs to be rewritten
before we do irreparable harm to our health care system.

Rep. Judy Biggert (IL):
Instead of producing a bipartisan proposal that delivers the solutions
Americans want, Democrat leaders are simply pushing ahead with a
go-it-alone approach that raises costs, slashes Medicare, and will
drive families into government-run care.  Americans need common-sense
health care solutions, and those don’t require massive new costs on
individuals and small businesses at the worst possible time for our
economy. 

Rep. Gregg Harper (MS): After
weeks of negotiating behind closed doors, Democratic leaders emerged
today with a plan that will increase premiums for Mississippi families
by $3,869 per year according to an analysis by the Blue Cross Blue
Shield Association. Negotiators claim they were able to ‘lower the
price tag’ of the legislation by expanding Medicaid. The truth is the
federal government has irresponsibly pitched the burden to individuals
through increased premiums for private policy holders and states in the
form of unfunded mandates that will cost Mississippi an additional $200
million a year. This bill is bad for my state and our country.”

Rep. Patrick McHenry (NC):
Nowhere in this 1,990-page bill are the common sense reforms that
everyone agrees on.  Insurance companies are not forced to compete with
one another across state lines.  Small businesses are not permitted to
join together to purchase affordable coverage for their employees. 
Lawsuit abuse will continue to thrive so the real victims are denied
justice and the cost of healthcare can continue to escalate.

Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO):
Even though the American people spoke loud and clear this past summer
against a government takeover of health care, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and
her fellow liberals in the House have decided to ignore them and
instead have chosen to proceed with a bill that puts government
bureaucrats in control of health care.

Rep. Steve King (IA): The
Pelosi Democrats are willing to spend nearly a trillion dollars to
reduce the percentage of uninsured from less than four percent of
Americans without affordable options down to perhaps two percent, and
in the process put in place the framework for socialized medicine. This
is a bad deal for every American, those present and grandchildren yet
to be born. The American people need to rise up, shut down the phone
lines in Congress and kill this bill.”

Rep. Jeff Flake (AZ): The
House Democrats’ bill takes us in the wrong direction…This bill does
nothing to control healthcare costs.  It simply shifts billions of
dollars of liability to taxpayers.  It just creates a whole new set of
problems.
