Deal speaks in opposition to health care bill

Submitted by Rep. Deal's office

WASHINGTON – In response to Speaker Pelosi’s 1,990 page health care bill, U. S. Rep. Nathan Deal, R-Ga., joined his Republican colleagues, along with many Americans who traveled long distances to have their voices heard in the health care debate, Thursday in a "House Call" press conference at the U.S. Capitol. Republicans delivered the message that the American people have repeated over and over again: they remain opposed to a government takeover of health care.

“I was proud to join my Republican colleagues today in representing the voices of the American public,” said Deal. “It is evident that Speaker Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues have spared no expense in advancing a liberal agenda for health care reform which will undoubtedly lead to more lost jobs, higher taxes, fewer choices and the elimination of the freedoms and liberties which are essential for patients and their providers.”

Deal is the senior Republican on the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health. The House expects a vote on the health care bill Saturday afternoon.
