What Has Rep. Aderholt Done To Fight The Democrat Health Care Bill?

What has Congressman Aderholt done to fight the Democrat Health Care Bill?

The following is a statement from Congressman Aderholt on the Democrat Health Bill:

"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 strongly oppose the Democrat health care reform bill."

"I believe that our system needs reform but this proposal is simply not the right plan. The goal of Congress should be to address and fix what's broken, as opposed to breaking what's working in our nation. Time and time again the American people have made it clear that they oppose this health care bill and I hope the American people get their wish by seeing this bill defeated."

Here are some things that Congressman Aderholt did to fight the massive Democrat Health Care Bill:

1. Rep. Aderholt has strongly opposed the Democrat health care bill since the summer of last year.
2. Rep. Aderholt co-sponsored an alternative solution last July (called the "Empowering Patients First Act" H.R. 3400).

4. Rep. Aderholt voted for the only Republican plan that was allowed to come to the floor for a vote on Nov. 7, 2009, House Republican Leader John Boehner’s substitute amendment to Speaker Pelosi's health care bill. It failed 258-176.
5. Rep. Aderholt hosted a public townhall meeting on Thursday, Sept. 10th in Albertville, in which he voiced his strong opposition to the Democrat health care bill.

9. Rep. Aderholt signed onto a resolution to block the so-called “Slaughter Solution”, the scheme by which Democratic leaders are seeking to pass the Senate’s health care bill without actually voting on it. The measure is intended to force an actual up-or-down House vote on the Senate health care bill.
