Pelosi Passes Trillion Dollar Health Care Bill; Government Gets New Job Overseeing Health Care SectorFollowing the passage of Speaker Pelosi's trillion dollar government-run health care bill, Rep. Ed Royce (R-CA) issued the following statement:"The Democrat Leadership served a debilitating blow to the rights of patients and doctors in this country. The passage of this trillion dollar government-run health care bill gives Washington bureaucrats an unprecedented and expansive role in our health care sector. Unfortunately, these aren't the only provisions the Democrat Leadership allowed with the passage of this bill. "They have agreed to provide health benefits to 8.5 million illegal immigrants at the expense of the taxpayer because they rejected Republican amendments which would have verified citizenship or legal residence by requiring more than self attestation or Social Security numbers. "They have agreed to fine any American that does not maintain 'acceptable' health insurance coverage. Should the individual not pay that assessment, one can face felony willful evasion punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years. "They have agreed to ignore medical liability reform and the $200 billion spent every year on unnecessary medical tests conducted to avoid frivolous lawsuits. "They have agreed to burden America's future generations by adding another trillion dollar entitlement program onto a federal budget the Congressional Budget Office declares is already on an 'unsustainable path'."
