“Today is a sad day for Americans who value their freedom to make their own health care decisions without interference by the federal government. In voting to approve the liberal-led agenda on Health Care Reform, Representative Harry Mitchell has let down the constituents of Congressional District 5 once again. While there’s no question our health care system needs reform, the plan pushed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic allies including Harry Mitchell will saddle our economy with staggering costs and create another enormous government bureaucracy. I urge voters in our district to hold Mitchell accountable for his lack of leadership and blind support of this disastrous policy.
My promise to voters is that, if elected, I will fight for the right kind of health care reform based on common sense such as: medical malpractice reform (to reduce costs), availability of health insurance across state lines (to increase competition and reduce costs), changing the tax code to enhance health care savings accounts (allowing the provider and the patient to work together), creating high risk pools for pre-existing conditions) and portability of coverage."
