“I am very concerned about the legality of several aspects of the so-called health care reform bill passed by the House of Representatives last night, which I strongly opposed and voted against,” Burgess said.  “The constitutionality of the individual mandate, special deals for certain states, and state-funded Medicaid expansions are all questionable, and I will not stand by and let these concerns go unchallenged.”

Tonight, the same Members of Congress who are sent to Washington by the voters in their districts to represent their best interests, told the American people ‘we don’t care what you want, we don’t care what you need, we are going to pass a health bill which you oppose anyway.’ Democrats said, ‘forget what’s best for the country, forget bipartisanship’ – the only thing bipartisan about this bill is its opposition.
