Cornyn says ObamaCare would be costly to Texans

As AFP members converge on Washington and the U.S. Capitol later this week, we would be wise to thank Sen. Cornyn for pointing out how costly ObamaCare would be for Texans:

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, delivered his opening statement at the Finance Committee mark up of Chairman Baucus' health care reform bill. Among other remarks, Sen. Cornyn announced the findings of a report he requested from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, which estimates that Chairman Baucus' health care proposal would have a devastating impact on Texas. It would increase Texas Medicaid costs by $20.4 billion over 10 years. Additionally, 2.5 million more Texans will end up on a government program.

Texans will be among the citizens from across the country attending the Defending the American Dream Summit Oct 2 & 3.

For the first time in my almost 60 years, I am truly afraid of my government. It feels like I am the lamb discussing what is for lunch with two wolves and my vote doesn't count. I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who said that Liberty was a well armed lamb to back up the dissenting vote, I forget the exact quote.
