Health Care Reform


Sam Johnson-House Member-Republican-Texas

Johnson declared that government-forced insurance is not the answer and urged Congress to reconsider a more bipartisan approach. Johnson does not like the current proposed bill at all along with many of his supporters from the classicly Republican Texas.

“Democrats and Republicans ought to be talking about how we can find solutions to provide more access to more treatments and more doctors with less interference from insurance companies and Washington politicians and special interests,” stated Johnson.

Sam Johnson is not up for re-election this year.

Health Care Reform

Sheldon Whitehouse-Senate Member-Democrat-Rhode Island

Whitehouse is strongly for Obama's Health Care reform bill. This is shown true by his instant support of Obama's latest bill. He has yet to read the bill but is fully in accordance with it.

"It's time for serious reform of our health care system - reform that will cover the tens of millions left uninsured, bring costs down, and improve the quality of care.We must improve the way we deliver health care by promoting quality, implementing health information technology, and investing in preventative care. This also means reforming how we pay for health care to align payments to reward the quality of care, rather than the quantity of services provided."

This quote well illustrates Whitehouse's view on the Health Care topic he has done all he can to push this bill through to pass.

Whitehouse is not up for re-election this year.
