ADERHOLT VOTES AGAINST THE PELOSI GOV'T TAKEOVER OF HEALTH CARE BILL
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) issued the following statement after voting against the House Democrat Leadership health care bill tonight. The House of Representatives passed the health care bill by the slim voting margin of 220-215.
"While I commend the House of Representative for passing the bipartisan Stupak amendment to prohibit federal taxpayers' funding for abortions, this is a disappointing day for the American people. The passing of yet another massive expansion of government control over our individual liberty that also explodes our country's debt is not the way that America should be moving. Therefore, I voted "no" on tonight's healthcare bill, HR 3692."
"The goal of Congress should be to address and fix what's broken, as opposed to breaking what's working in our nation. I believe that the people of this country oppose this shocking government takeover of healthcare, which is supported by Speaker Pelosi and President Obama. I hope the voices of the American people will be heard before the bill has the chance of being signed into law."
