Highlighting GOP Attempts to Obstruct and Mislead on Health Reform

Democratic Senators held a press conference today to discuss Republican hypocrisy and obstruction throughout the health reform debate. Republicans went to great lengths in recent days to claim that they want to have votes on The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But the American people know better their lackluster record tells the story. Republicans had 8 years to lead on health care and neglected to. Theyve also had countless opportunities since the beginning of this session of Congress to work with Democrats on health reform and have stalled and delayed at every turn. Senator Menendez said, The ideological right is playing the fear card again, trying to drive a wedge that splits this nation into red and blue again. They talk about death panels, socialism and taxes and raise peoples fears. Lets be clear: The Republicans dont want health insurance reform. They dont want to debate. They want it their way or no way.
