Senate Republicans React With Dismay As Democrats Pass A Government Run Health Care Plan

"The Democrats in Sacramento still don’t get it.  A government take over of people’s health care to the tune of $200 billion is just utterly irresponsible.  How can the Democrats think that taxpayers are going to pay for this new government bureaucracy when they are losing their jobs and California’s government is already running amok?

"Today, Senate Democrats in Sacramento passed a government health care plan (SB 810) that would cost $100 billion in the first six months and $200 billion-a-year thereafter and would add another $42 billion to our current $21 billion state deficit," said Senate Republican Leader Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Murrieta.

"Democrats in Sacramento showed they are more interested in a government take over of people’s health care than creating new jobs and getting the economy moving again," Hollingsworth added. [Press Release]
