"We know how important it is to have choice and flexibility in managing our health care expenses, particularly when it comes to the medicines our families need. So it doesn't make sense that President Obama's health care reform law took away some of those rights. "

"Americans understand that if the president and Washington Democrats want us to pay their bills, Washington will have to cut up its credit cards....This isn't about ideologies, it is about sustainability, certainty and job creation."

"Kansans know that you cannot spend money you don't have. Congress must learn this lesson."
