Harman Statement on Health Care

Washington, D.C. -- Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice), member of the Energy & Commerce Health Subcommittee, issued the following statement today:

“I am a strong supporter of universal health coverage, which is why I support the health care reform plan being developed by President Obama, Senator Kennedy, and Congressman Waxman.  Like them, I believe that the bill must include a public health insurance option which guarantees all Americans access to quality, affordable health care.  I will oppose any plan that does not include this option, and am unwavering in my opposition to the so-called “Blue Dog trigger.”  I am proud to have signed the HCAN (Health Care for America Now!) pledge to seek universal coverage.”
