Hundreds of millions of Americans will be forced out of their current healthcare plan, Medicare cuts will mean fewer benefits for seniors, bureaucrats will have the authority to restrict healthcare services, taxpayers will fund benefits for illegal immigrants, federal and state taxes will increase, and the cost of healthcare premiums will rise. The remedy is worse than the disease. http://mchenry.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=154034 http://mchenry.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=154034 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT Today, Congressman Patrick McHenry sent a letter to the North Carolina Division of Medical Assistance concerning H.R. 3962, the healthcare legislation pending before Congress. http://mchenry.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=153759 http://mchenry.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=153759 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT http://mchenry.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=153261 http://mchenry.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=153261 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:00:00 GMT Meet the new plan for a government takeover of healthcare, same as the old one.
