Issue Position

"We need health care reform, but the current law has created uncertainty for employers and spends a trillion dollars we can't afford. We must repeal the law and replace it with one that lowers costs, preserves the doctor-patient relationship, lets Americans keep the coverage they have, allows the private sector to create jobs and follows the Constitution." -- Rep. Tim Griffin, 1/7/11
