Sen. Max Baucus (DâMO) released a statement following the passage of the House health care reform bill. Here’s the full text:
“Too many families and small businesses in Montana and across America have struggled with the instability created by our broken health care system. Today’s passage of health reform means Americans will not have to wait any longer for meaningful health reform that will end insurance company abuses, lower costs and increase choice and competition for consumers,” said Baucus. “Today’s House vote is not the end, but it is a momentous step forward. We have now enacted into law the affordable health system America needs to be competitive in the 21st century global economy. Working with President Obama, this Congress has made tremendous progress to build consensus on how to make our health care system more affordable and sustainable for families, businesses and the federal budget. I am confident we can enact into law legislation to improve the bill.”
