NEWS FROM WASHINGTON | ||
Greetings, I believe, however, that Washington has a spending problem, not a revenue problem and I continue to support the pledge I signed. The fiscal cliff can be averted—without raising taxes—through pro-growth reform and without compromising our principles. I support cut, cap, and balance and will continue advocating for drastically reduced federal spending and a balanced budget amendment. President Obama and Democrats have added trillions to our national debt with no signs of stopping. They’ve offered no specifics on spending cuts or entitlement reform, which must be part of any fiscal cliff deal. Without significant reform, Medicare will go bankrupt by 2017 and Social Security by 2033. Likewise, Obamacare and its $1.7 trillion price tag must be addressed in these fiscal cliff discussions. For my part, as co-chair of the House GOP Doctors Caucus, I will continue advancing ideas and legislation to enact a permanent solution to the Medicare physician reimbursement rate, safeguard the doctor-patient relationship, and implement meaningful health care reform.

Obamacare Realities Revealed President Obama’s disastrous health care law has yet to be fully implemented but is already yielding catastrophic results for patients, business owners, and American taxpayers alike. The federal government takeover of our health care system has increased costs, saddled businesses with onerous regulations, and raised more questions than answers. In this economic climate, the uncertainty created by the President’s health care law is crippling for business and leaves states in limbo. The lack of guidance from the Obama Administration and Secretary Sebelius has promoted employers to cut hours, freeze hiring, and in some cases, close their doors. Recently, Governor Deal cited it as a reason Georgia would not set up a health care exchange, a decision I strongly support. While Obamacare has created much uncertainty and we are still learning of the perils of the $1 trillion law, what we know so far isn’t pretty. Click here to view startling Obamacare Realities.
