Healthcare Update
As I am sure you are well aware, healthcare policy remains one of the most important issues facing this country. I want to assure you we are doing everything we can in the Missouri House to stop this economically crippling, job killing, and unfunded mandate forced upon us by an out of control federal government. Just last week we passed two pieces of legislation addressing these issues; HB 423 (the Health Care Compact), and HB 475 which creates greater transparency for health care cost and quality. Both of these pieces of legislation are a step in the right direction and a testament to our desire to put sanity back into dealing with the health care crisis. The bigger issue to grasp here is having an understanding of what values were used in the formation of ObamaCare; the reason it is not palatable. It was founded not on freedom, liberty, charity, or responsibility, but on the belief that those who do not have, have the right to take from those that do. This has nothing to do with freedom, liberty, charity, and responsibility. Developing solutions based on freedom, liberty, charity, and responsibility is the only way to effectively create true health care reform in America and insure everyone has access to quality, affordable care.
Visiting the Capitol
I always enjoy it when constituents visit the Capitol and want to thank all who make the journey to the Capitol. If you ever find yourself in or around Jefferson City at any time during the year, please feel free to visit us!
Until my next update, I am, and remain, in your service.
