Thatโs the GOP message this morning, as reflected in their radio address from Haley Barbour:
WASHINGTON (AP) โ Republicans say Democrats should scrap their ambitious health care legislation in favor of more modest changes.
The House is expected to vote today on Democratsโ sweeping overhaul legislation that aims to extend coverage to tens of millions of uninsured Americans while banning some insurance industry practices.
In the GOPโs weekly radio and Internet address, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour says the plan should be โwithdrawn and reworked,โ arguing itโs too expensive and will โclobber small businessesโ and hinder job growth.
He also said Tuesdayโs elections, in which Democrats lost two governorsโ races, sent a message that voters care about jobs, not growing the size of government.
He called the elections a โfire alarmโ and said theyโll get Washington focused on job creation and economic growth.
