Washington, Nov 3 -

U.S. Representative John Boozman (R-AR) joined his colleagues in reading H.R. 3962, the latest version of Speaker Pelosi’s plan for government-run health care. 

“I have pledged to read the massive health care reform bill before I vote on it, and I am keeping that promise by joining my colleagues and reading H.R. 3962, Speaker Pelosi’s trillion-dollar, 2,000-page health care takeover” Boozman said.  “I have been reading the bill since it was introduced on Thursday and this bill is no better than what the American people spoke up against in August. This health care legislation is full of bad policy, higher taxes, more mandates and penalties and more government intrusion.”

“The American people deserve health care reform that gives them access to quality and affordable health care and allows them to make decisions that are best for the care they need. Instead of increasing taxes, entitlement programs and red tape to reform health care we need to let families and businesses buy health insurance across state lines; allow small businesses to pool together to buy health insurance at lower prices and end lawsuits that contribute to escalating costs because of doctors being forced to practice defensive medicine,” Boozman said.
