AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry issued the following statement on the passage of the federal health care bill:
“Unfortunately, the health care vote had more to do with expanding socialism on American soil than it does fixing our health care finance and delivery systems. The Obama health care bill undermines patient choice, personal responsibility, medical innovation and fiscal responsibility in America.
“As passed by the U.S. House, the bill will cost Texas taxpayers billions more, and drive our nation much deeper into debt. Congress’s backroom deals and parliamentary maneuvers undermined the public trust and increased cynicism in our political process.
“Texas leaders will continue to do everything in our power to fight this federal excess and find ways to protect our families, taxpayers and medical providers from this gross federal overreach.”

Hi I am so sorry this bill passed. I cannot believe that the Congress disregarded the American people like this. I am from Ohio and believe this is going to effect us just as dirasticly as you in Texas. Please keep us posted on any accomplishments that you make there. We would be interested. We will fight on.
