Congressman John Boehner (R-West Chester) released the following web video today, where he discussed how Democrat health care plans before Congress will hurt senior citizens, and highlighted Republican solutions to lower costs and increase access to quality health care.
Boehner says:
"In the debate over health care reform, Republicans are offering a number of proposals for a truly bipartisan bill that would lower costs and increase access to quality health care. Specifically, our plans would extend coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, encourage home care and wellness, and expand access to community health centers...
Despite our offers to work together, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Majority Leader Harry Reid are pushing ahead with backroom negotiations to draw up a trillion-dollar government takeover of health care from several Democratic bills. These plans include a number of troubling proposals that all seniors need to be aware of, including a $500 billion cut to Medicare, and a $172 billion cut to Medicare Advantage."
