Congressman Wally Herger (R-CA), Ranking Member on the Ways & Means Subcommittee on Health, issued the following statement in response to election of Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate and the rejection of government-run health care by Massachusetts voters:
"Last night's election in Massachusetts was a shot heard round the world, and I hope that the Democrats are listening. The American people have spoken loud and clear -- they don't want a government takeover of health care. It's time for Congress to do what the people have asked for -- start over on health care and put commonsense and fiscal responsibility back in the process."
