With September 15th drawing nearer, Obama's unofficial deadline for a new proposed health care bill is also approaching. August recess is almost over and our Congressmen will resume battling over a solution for our health care system. To protect his constituents, Congressman Burton has and will continue to fight against government intervention in health care. Indiana Daily Student News reports what is happening in all districts across Indiana.
In July, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the reforms would reduce the number of uninsured Americans by about a third, at a cost of $1 trillion dollars over 10 years.
Rep. Dan Burton, R-5th District, opposes the bill and would oppose any version that mandated a government-run program, said Matt Prine, a spokesman for Burton.
“Putting a government official between the patient and the doctor is overstepping the boundaries of what government should do,” Prine said.
He estimated that three-quarters of constituents who have contacted Burton’s office since the bill’s proposal were opposed to it.

the first thing that should be done is insurance companies should be allowed to compete across state lines
