Weekly Republican Address 6/23/12: Rep. Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA)

In this week's address, Rep. Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) discusses House Republicans' focus on jobs and fully repealing the president's health care law. The law makes it difficult for small businesses to expand and hire new workers, it drives up health care costs, and it's making our economy worse. After the Supreme Court's decision, House Republicans will work to implement reforms that give the power of choice and control to the patient--not government bureaucracy.

As a europoean and beneficiary of a social medical system i can only wonder how health care for the least off among people can even be put into question. i don't think the western world is so poorly off compared to the rest of the world that we have to debate the cost of our fellow citizens health and lifes...
