Government run health care is not the answer. Unfortunately, the action Congress took Sunday night clearly drove a stake into the heart of both freedom and liberty. Sadly, with a national debt over $12 trillion – and growing every minute – the passage of this bill was not a reason for celebration; it was a moment I fear we will all come to regret one day.

While both House and Senate Republicans have promised to repeal this government takeover of our health care delivery system, the fact is our options are limited until after the November general election and even then, only if the American people will entrust us again with another opportunity to lead.
