Health Care
Floor Speech
Issues: Health and Health Care
Mr. AUSTRIA. Mr. Speaker, included in the Democrats' health plan are massive cuts to Medicare Advantage that could result in a loss of health care for millions of seniors.
In my State of Ohio, this isn't good. Cuts to Medicare Advantage will have an exceptionally harmful impact to seniors in areas that I represent in Ohio, rural areas, forcing many seniors into a one-size-fits-all, government-run health care plan.
The CBO also said the Democrats' health care plan will increase seniors' Medicare prescription drug premiums by 20 percent over the next decade.
It is time that Congress listen to our constituents, listen to the American people, and have an open, bipartisan debate on health care reform.
