McCaul's response to the President's healthcare address
September 9, 2009
“We all agree we need to reform the system to make healthcare more affordable and accessible to every American regardless of income or pre-existing condition. But this is the same government-run product that Americans are rejecting and leading doctors at the Texas Medical Center have told me would destroy one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Any plan that imposes mandates, kills jobs and jeopardizes quality of care is unacceptable. It was good to hear the President come around to some of our ideas like tax credits to help people buy insurance, risk pooling, and insurance and tort reform, but as even the President said, there are still many details to work out.”
