Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason released the following statements the difficulty President Barack Obama and Democrat leaders are having to get their own members to support their government-run health care plan.
"President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Washington, D.C., refuse to listen to the growing number of Americans who are rejecting their government-run health care plan," Gleason said. "For months now, the American people have expressed their overwhelming support for a thoughtful, step-by-step approach to improving our health care system that will control costs, expand access and build upon the best parts of our current system. Yet Democrats, like Senators Arlen Specter and Bob Casey, have ignored the clear and consistent wishes of the American people in exchange for a government-run health care plan that will result in higher taxes, increased health care costs while forcing millions of Americans to rely on the government for care that is less than what they deserve.
"Republicans are eager to put the focus of the health care debate back where it belongs: on the American people. Republican leaders support market-based solutions that will make it easier to gain and maintain health care coverage even if Americans have a change in employment or marital status, or decide to move to a different state. We are prepared to talk about practical solutions that will improve the lives of the American people, rather than fulfill the goals of a tax-and-spend liberal agenda.
"The only good thing to come out of this government-run health care debate is that the American people are finally seeing just how far President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress will go to impose their extreme liberal agenda onto the American people."
