Brownback Says No Massive Health Care Overhaul Now

Says incremental, cost saving reforms better with current burgeoning budget deficits

 

Contact: Brian Hart or Becky Ogilvie, Sam Brownback, United States Senator - Kansas, 202-224-6521  

 

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 /Standard Newswire/ -- U.S. Senator Sam Brownback today called on Congressional leadership and President Obama to drop current health care proposals due to recent reports of staggering budget deficits and calls for more incremental and cost savings reforms.

 

"This week the White House predicted a $9 trillion deficit over the next ten years on top of this year's $1.6 trillion deficit," Brownback stated.  "Our economy remains weak and Tuesday's report makes clear that we must put our fiscal house in order.  In light of this, I call on the President and the Congressional leadership to stop the current attempts to push massive and expensive health care reform through Congress.  We should focus on bipartisan and incremental measures to improve the system and reduce the growth in government health care expenditures."
