Rep. Lamborn Issues Statement Regarding President Bush's State of the Union Address
Washington, Jan 23, 2007 - WASHINGTON – Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05) issued the following statement regarding President Bush’s State of the Union Address this evening: “I would like to thank President Bush for his State of the Union Address and applaud him on addressing the larger issues facing our nation, including the War on Terror, energy, and health care.” “I applaud the President’s proposal to make sweeping changes in the way the government taxes health-care insurance, an effort which will undoubtedly make coverage cheaper and more widely available. The notion of extending tax deductibility of health coverage to people who buy it outside the workplace – especially for people who are self-employed or work without traditional benefits will expand the availability of insurance, as well as lower costs in a responsible, cost effective manner.” -30-
