Republican Chart Outlines House Democrats’ Government Takeover of Health Care

WASHINGTON — House Republicans, led by Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, and House Republicans on the Joint Economic Committee (JEC), today outlined a chart detailing the bureaucratic nightmare of the House Democrats’ health care plan.

The chart, which Brady detailed in a presentation to GOP leaders, identifies at least 31 new federal programs, agencies, commissions and mandates that accompany the unprecedented government takeover of health care in America.

“This chart depicts the health care nightmare that House Democrats have planned for families and small businesses,” House Republican Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. “This isn’t reform; it’s a recipe for disaster that will lead to higher health care costs, lower quality, rationed care, and bureaucrats making medical decisions instead of doctors and patients. Families shouldn’t have to answer to shadowy Washington bureaucrats when they’re seeking health care treatments for themselves and their loved ones.
