Coble on health care
Rep. Howard Coble, a Greensboro Republican, took less than a minute to speak on the floor of the House today about health care reform. He targeted the health insurance bill backed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, which would include a public option insurer – ie: a health insurance option provided through the federal government to compete with private insurance options.
Coble’s remarks:
“Mr. Speaker, the majority of my constituents believe the United States has the world’s best delivery of health care services. I concur. These same constituents are not adverse to reform but they fear the Pelosi health care plan will leave the gate wide open for introduction of overwhelming governmental involvement. I believe that fear is well founded.
“Our health care system, Mr. Speaker, may well need some adjusting, some fine tuning. What it does not need is a major overhaul. The Pelosi plan is indeed a major overhaul and should be rejected.”
