Will Mark Schauer Follow Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s
Controversial Plan to Pass Democrats’ Health Care
Bill?
Tipton, MI- Congressman Mark Schauer has followed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lead by voting for her budget with trillion dollar deficits, national ‘cap and trade’ energy tax, and trillion dollar health care bill. Now, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to push through Congress a trillion dollar health care bill that the majority of Americans oppose by using a controversial legislative maneuver opposed by a majority of the American people.
As reported by CNN: “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went further than any top Democrat has before in confirming an open secret in Washington: Democrats are making tentative plans to use a controversial parliamentary shortcut to send the president a health care bill, with or without GOP votes. The House speaker called the legislative tool known as reconciliation ‘a simple majority’ and said, ‘that's what we're asking the Senate to act upon.’”
“Will Mark Schauer stand with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in pushing their trillion dollar government takeover of health care, or will he stand with the families of south central Michigan who want Congress to scrap the Democrats’ health care bill and start over?” asked Tim Walberg.
“In the U.S. House, I worked to end lawsuit abuse, allow people to purchase health insurance across state lines, and let small businesses join together to purchase affordable health insurance for their employees. We can implement these common sense reforms to make health care more affordable and accessible, but old-fashioned liberals like Nancy Pelosi and Mark Schauer place their big government ideology over the interests of Michigan families,” said Walberg.
