Statement: Reaction to the President’s Speech on Health Care Reform September 9, 2009
“The President affirmed tonight that our government has a role and responsibility to serve as a check and balance in America’s health care system. The insurance companies cannot be allowed any longer to go without competition, and the president presented a plan to provide the American people with fundamental health security guarantees. He insisted that there be prohibitions against current practices that deny or withdraw coverage when people need it most. He went on to affirm that there would be a competitive public plan to force the insurance companies to be accountable for their cost, thus insuring that costs would come down. The president drew a line in the sand that said no American should be forced to go broke in the richest nation on earth because they get sick.”
