House Democrats Reveal "More of the Same" in Health Care Plan

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) provided the following remarks after House Democrats revealed their latest health care proposal earlier today.

"The introduction of this legislation makes it abundantly clear that the liberals who control Congress, and the Obama administration, either weren't listening to the American people, or simply don't care what we have to say," Congressman Cole said. "The latest version of their health care legislation will raise taxes, increase costs, restrict coverage and shift massive expenses to state governments who are in no position to absorb additional financial responsibilities."

"In numerous town hall meetings, my constituents made it very clear that they are opposed to the proposed government takeover of our health care system and that they are appalled at the explosive growth in government. This bill is just more of the same and I will strongly oppose it."
