Club for Growth Denounces House ‘Pelosi-Care’ Vote
Plan Would Raise Taxes, Force Families Into Government Programs, Stifle Growth
WASHINGTON - The Club for Growth today denounced the 2,000-page health care takeover plan passed by the House of Representatives, 220-215.

“PelosiCare is a disaster,” Club President Chris Chocola said of the $1.3 trillion plan, which includes more than $750 billion in tax increases. “The policies and price tag are shocking, but not surprising to anyone familiar with the liberal extremism of the House Democrats. America’s health care system needs reform, but this bill does not provide it. PelosiCare would only raise taxes, explode the deficit, force millions of families out of their health plans and into a government-controlled system, and strangle an economic recovery in its crib.”

Chocola praised the House Republican Conference, which voted almost unanimously against the bill, and the 39 courageous Democrats who stood up to their leadership’s pressure. “The 215 who voted no deserve credit for standing with the American people, for the principles of individual choice and economic freedom, and against yet another trillion-dollar expansion of federal power and debt.”
