OFFICIAL STATEMENT – Senator Johnny Isakson (R-GA) delivers the weekly Republican address on the Health Care Reform bill that is currently being debated in the Senate Finance Committee. Senator Isakson also sends his condolences to the families of those who have lost their lives due to the recent flooding in Georgia.
Senator Isakson discusses how important this Health Care Reform bill is to the American people and how the Republicans have listened to what their constituents have demanded at local events and town hall forums.
Senator Isakson declares that “Americans are rightly concerned about the rush to pass a massive overhaul that will raise their taxes, lower their quality of care and put government between them and their doctor.” And that “Republicans believe the key to reforming health care is strengthening the doctor-patient relationship by using choice and competition rather than rationing and restrictions to contain costs and ensure access to affordable health care.”

WASHINGTON D.C. – Representative Tom Price of the sixth Congressional District of Georgia and a physician who practiced medicine in Atlanta, delivers the Weekly Republican Address on health care. Representative Price believes that third-party decision making and rising costs are driving patients away from doctors and the desired care they seek. However, he feels the challenge lies in supplying more accessible health care which is both affordable and patient centered without impairing the quality of care, innovation, and choices which are the cornerstones of American medicine. According to Representative Price, this is an impossible task under the Democrat and President Obama’s “one size fits all” approach to health care.
Additionally as a physician who navigated Federal health care programs, Representative Price experienced first hand how impossible it is for Washington bureaucrats to handle the personal and unique circumstances encountered by doctors and patients each and every day.
