Etheridge Announces Statement On Health Care Reform Vote

Statement

Date: March 19, 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health and Health Care

U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-Lillington) released a statement today announcing how he will vote on H.R. 4872, "The Health Care &Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010".

"The working families of the 2nd District need solutions, not more fear, neither the real fears of rising cost nor the false fears spread by special interests. We cannot continue to allow the current system to kill jobs and bust the budgets of our families and our nation. After reading the bill carefully, I have concluded that it will save lives and save money. I have listened to North Carolinians from all points of view and after prayerful consideration, I will vote "yes' for these needed reforms. This is the best chance we have to reduce sky-rocketing health care cost for North Carolina families."
