During August and early September, I took the opportunity to meet with health care professionals and concerned citizens around our district. Whether individually, in small groups, or in large town hall meetings, people from every walk of life expressed to me their concerns about the federal takeover of health care being proposed by President Obama and leaders in Congress.
It is clear from reading the news and speaking with my colleagues that regular Americans across the country have sent the same clear message to their representatives as well.
