Obama Turns Deaf Ear to Opposition to Healthcare Reform Plans

CAGW | October 6, 2009 

CCAGW reacted with dismay and alarm to President Obama’s September 9 speech to a joint session of Congress on healthcare reform.  Despite widespread protests at town hall meetings across the country and vociferous taxpayer opposition to any further intrusion by the federal government into the nation’s healthcare system, the President used the address to burnish his commitment to a radical, overly-bureaucratic, and costly plan that would insert the federal government even further into the healthcare sector without driving down costs or delivering better health outcomes.  “The President and his Democratic allies in the House and Senate turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to the voices of millions of taxpayers, who sent clear signals to their elected officials over the August recess that they reject the wasteful, hyper-partisan healthcare reform plans that have been hastily cobbled together in Congress,” said CCAGW President Tom Schatz.  “It is unlikely that their justifiable anger and mistrust were mollified by another speech filled with scolding and platitudes.”  Read more about the President’s speech to Congress.
