Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after speaking to patriotic Americans opposed to the Democrats’ health care takeover at a rally outside the U.S. Capitol.

“Healthy representative government requires vigorous public debate and public servants who listen to their constituents,” said Congressman Price. “For over a year now, Democrats in charge have ignored the voices of the American people. They have abused a common desire for health reform by pushing an unacceptable and hyper-partisan plan to put power in the hands of Washington rather than patients.”

“As we have all year long, House Republicans stand firmly with the American people in the battle against an encroaching federal government. The concerned citizens visiting congressional offices across the country today are saying loudly and clearly that it’s time to kill this bill and focus on jobs and the patient-centered reforms Americans support. True public servants will heed their call.”
