GOP Weekly Adress by Sen. LeMieux of Florida: Health Care reform Legislation

OFFICIAL STATEMENT – Sen. George LeMieux (R-FL) discusses health care reform legislation in the Weekly Republican Address.

Sen. LeMieux notes, “Right now Senate Democrats and White House officials are behind closed doors crafting their final health care overhaul proposal. While the Democrats in Congress have no provided the actual language of their proposed law, we do know enough for Americans to be concerned.”

Sen. LeMieux points to some serious concerns with the bill: “We know it takes nearly $500 billion out of Medicare funding for seniors and requires our states to shoulder billions more in health care costs, which they can ill-afford to do.”
