TOLEDO, OH -- US Representative Marcy Kaptur voted for the health care legislation. In a statement released Sunday, Kaptur said in part:
"With the mounting economic strain on American families and the rising costs of health insurance to workers, businesses and the federal budgets, the status quo has proven itself unsustainable, fiscally irresponsible and morally unacceptable.
The time has come for this historical change.I stand in support of its promise to the American people."
Congessman Bob Latta voted against the bill. He also issued a statement today, saying in part:
"From the beginning of the health care debate this year, constituents in my district and millions of Americans made it clear that they do not support the government takeover of our nation's health care system.
In short, Speaker Pelosi's government run health care plan will cause irreparable harm to our personal liberties, national debt and our nation's health care system."
