Ryan Statement on President Obama’s Address to Joint Session of Congress
WASHINGTON – Wisconsin’s 1st District Congressman Paul Ryan tonight issued the following statement in response to President Barack Obama’s health care address to a joint session of Congress:
“Tonight marked the President’s 28th major health care address this year. As thousands of Wisconsinites made clear to me at my health care town halls in August, we don’t need another speech; we want a fresh start on real reform – patient-centered, fiscally-responsible reform. The President delivered an articulate speech, but his plan fails to fix what’s broken, and instead breaks what’s working.
“The Washington-centric health care overhaul being pushed through Congress is not the only way to tackle this issue. Wisconsinites know better; Wisconsinites deserve better. Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike continue to offer substantive alternatives – proving that we can have universal access to health coverage in America without the government taking it over, without trillions in new taxes, spending, and debt. If President Obama is sincere in asking for better ideas – ideas that can garner bipartisan support – he must be willing to consider them.”
