Young calls health care bill 'a vote to rescind ... freedom'
CommentsAfter the U.S. House passed health care legislation Saturday, Alaska Rep. Don Young, a Republican, released a statement after the vote calling it a "vote to rescind American freedom." He deplored the tactics used by those pushing the measure.
The bill, he said, "doesn't include accessibility, portability, or affordability. What it does include is insurance without access. What is the point of holding an insurance card if you can't find a doctor who will accept it? Insurance is only one small portion of a much larger problem, and this bill ignores that. This is more about political tactics than what's good for this country, and it's shameful."
