U.S. Representative Mike Turner issued the following statement in response to the House of Representatives passage of Speaker Pelosi’s health care bill:“It is unfortunate the Majority in Congress, led by Speaker Pelosi, has decided to support a government takeover of our nation’s health care system. They have decided to ignore the wishes of the American people and push forward with their vision of reform which will only further impair our economic recovery.
“Ohioans continue to ask why Congress feels compelled to implement an absolute health care overhaul when common sense measures such as prohibiting insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, allowing small businesses to pool coverage, offering the ability to deduct the full cost of their health insurance premiums, and tort reform, should first be considered. I remain committed to supporting Ohioans call for common sense health care reforms.”
