Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Charles W. Boustany, Jr., R-Southwest Louisiana, today met with members of the SWLA Tea Party to discuss problems with Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats’ massive, 1,990-page overhaul bill, H.R. 3962.

“Throughout the summer and fall, a majority of Americans have repeatedly expressed outrage over the attempts of Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats to ram a massive health care bill through Congress,” Boustany said.  “We can achieve meaningful health care reform to bring down the cost of health care, but the House Democrats’ proposal, H.R. 3962 isn’t the right way.  I appreciate hearing from and seeing people from Southwest Louisiana in Washington as this debate continues.”

Boustany, a former heart surgeon, advocates lowering health care costs to help Americans struggling with skyrocketing health expenses.  He opposes the current House Democrats’ overhaul, a vote on which is expected Saturday.
