JASON LEVESQUE COMMENTS ON PRESIDENT OBAMA’S REVISED HEALTH CARE BILL

Auburn, Maine –President Obama today announced a revised Health Care proposal demanding passage within two weeks.  2^nd District Congressional candidate Jason Levesque released the following statement on the discussion:

“This proposal is nothing more than a massive spending bill that does not actually improve the access or cost of health insurance for most Mainers.  Congressman Michaud, you have repeatedly called yourself a Blue Dog Democrat, implying a level of fiscal responsibility in your beliefs.  If that is true you must stand up to Nancy Pelosi and President Obama and reject this legislation.  This is not what the people of Maine want.  You cannot spend a trillion dollars and expect to save people money.  Let’s go back to the drawing board.  Getting this bill done quickly does not mean it will be done properly. Let’s get TORT reform, open up insurance for small business pooling and open the state lines so we can truly address the problem we have without putting our future generations in debt or increasing taxes on struggling families and businesses.”
