Today, I joined my Republican colleagues in participating in a “House Call” on the current government-run health care bill. The public press conference held on the steps of the U.S Capitol attracted thousands of citizens from across the country.

Republican Members and concerned Americans gathered today with a common purpose: to speak in strong opposition to a government takeover of health care.

Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi and the Democrat Majority are racing to make massive changes to our current health care delivery system without regard for the voice of the American people.

As a vote on Speaker Pelosi’s now 2,032-page health care bill is nearing, Americans are fighting to have their voice heard in Washington. Today, we sent a clear message against Speaker Pelosi’s plan for government interference in every American’s health care.
