“The President spent a lot of time tonight talking about what will happen if Congress does nothing about health care even though there’s already a strong bipartisan agreement on the need for reform. The false choice between a massive government takeover, or no reform at all, is one that has been soundly rejected across the country.
“When it comes to health care, Americans don’t want the government to tear down the system we have and build an even bigger, government-run system that adds massive spending and debt. They want us to repair it. Republicans have offered many specific plans to do just that–commonsense proposals that could attract strong bipartisan support in Congress and overwhelming support from the American people. It’s not too late for the White House to join us in using these ideas as the basis of reforms that Americans actually want.”
