Washington, Oct 29 - WASHINGTON, D.C. House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Democrats unveiled their 1,990-page trillion-dollar government takeover of health care bill: The American people have spoken.

Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have ignored them. Through the month of August, the American people let Members of Congress from both parties know that they didnt want a government takeover of health care. That hasnt changed. But instead of listening to the American people, Democrats hid behind closed doors and came back with a bill designed to appease the liberal special interests.

Three things about Speaker Pelosis health care bill are already clear: it will raise the cost of Americans health insurance premiums; it will kill jobs with tax hikes and new mandates; and it will cut seniors Medicare benefits.

The fact that it weighs in at nearly 2,000 pages more than 620 pages longer than the government takeover of health care Hillary Clinton proposed in 1993 is as good an indication as any of just how costly and unsustainable Speaker Pelosis proposal is. There is a better way.

Republicans have offered solutions to lower health care costs and expand access at a cost our nation can afford. You can read about them at healthcare.gop.gov. Democrats need to listen to the American people, and work with us on the real reforms families want and need."
