McConnell Statement on Health Care

"Americans have a right to expect that we'll take enough time on this legislation not to make the same mistake that was made on the stimulus. The House and Senate bills we've seen this week show that we're not there yet - not even close. We need to slow down and let the American people see what they'd be getting into with these so-called reforms. We all want reform. But we want the right reform.

"The CBO testimony yesterday should be setting off alarm bells. Instead of rushing through one expensive proposal after another, we should take the time we need to get things right."
