Coffman Statement On Health Care Reform Vote

Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO) released the following statement tonight after voting against passage of H.R. 3962, Speaker Pelosis government takeover of health care:

Do not be mistaken, the only thing this health care bill will do is make our nation sicker. It will cut care for our seniors, it will kill millions of jobs, it will raise taxes, and it will strangle our economy. Americans reject the false choice Democrats have presented in claiming this bill is the only option to improve the status quo and by voting no, I too have rejected that false choice.

Also, be clear -- a vote against this bill is not a vote against reform. It is a vote against reckless spending that jeopardizes our children's future, and their children's future. It is a vote against a trillion dollar government takeover of health care, and it is a vote against the radical liberal agenda that threatens our freedom.

I cannot in good conscience support a bill our nation cannot afford and does not need -- this 1,990 page monstrosity is just that.
