From the Randy Hultgren for Congress campaign…
State Senator Randy Hultgren today signed the Club for Growth’s “Repeal It” Candidate Pledge. In doing so, Senator Hultgren promised to the voters of Illinois’ 14th Congressional District that he would work to repeal any government takeover of health care.
“I have consistently opposed the Obama/Pelosi plan to nationalize our health care,” said Hultgren. “Congressman Bill Foster stood with Nancy Pelosi and against the people of Illinois when he voted for this terrible legislation.”
Senator Hultgren has a clear plan to reform health care without a government takeover. “I believe that the real way to reduce costs is to implement real tort reform, increase transparency and allow patients to purchase insurance across state lines,” he said. “I believe that we can reduce costs but maintain high quality in our health care system, and we can do it without a government-run system.”
