Hoyer Statement on Pledge by Health
Care Stakeholders to Reduce Costs
WASHINGTON, DC – Majority Leader Steny
H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement on the announcement
today that major health care stakeholders are pledging to cumulatively
reduce the growth rate of health care spending by 1.5% per year,
saving $2 trillion health care dollars over 10 years and resulting
in annual projected savings of $2500 for a family of four by
the fifth year.
“Containing rising health care costs that are an increasing
burden on families, businesses and the federal budget is one
of the critical goals of enacting health care reform this year.
The fact that this diverse group of stakeholders has voluntarily
pledged to work together to slow the growth rate of these costs
underscores the broad commitment to making health reform a reality.
These groups should be commended for pledging to be part of a
constructive solution.”

American
Majority Can't Count on Specter for Procedural Votes
Though Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) claimed yesterday
that Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) would be "with us all the
time" on procedural votes, he apparently didn't check this
with his newest Democratic senator.
Instead, Specter told Fox News, "I'm
going to have to talk to Sen. Reid about that."
Perhaps that why the latest Congressional
Insiders Poll shows that more than half of Republicans and Democats
think Specter's party switch will influence legislation "only
a little" or "not at all."

Friend --
Earlier this week, President Obama announced
a bold set of proposals to crack down on overseas tax havens
and encourage job creation at home.
While hard working Americans pay our fair
share, some of the largest, most powerful interests exploit tax
loopholes that actually reward companies for creating jobs overseas
and allow them to use tax shelters to avoid paying their rightful
share.
To see the difference between your approach and
theirs, check out our new Tax Fairness Calculator.
You can enter what you earn, find out what
the average American owes on that amount, and then see what you
could pay if you were a multi-national corporation. Try it out!
Warning: Using this tax calculator may
fill you with an irresistible urge to fix this broken system.
Fortunately, that's exactly what we can do -- if we act together.
The special interests will fight hard for
the status quo, and their lobbyists are already swarming in Washington.
Now we have to stand up and show how much support the President's
proposals really have out here in America.
After you use the Tax Fairness Calculator,
please add your name to our public declaration saying that you
stand behind the President's plan for tax fairness and job creation.
Try the calculator and add your name now:
http://my.barackobama.com/TaxCalculator
These proposals are a key part of the President's
plan to get our economy back on track, and it's time for us to
stand up and help make it happen. Working together to make our
country a fairer, more prosperous place is the reason we built
this movement.
Thanks so much,
Mitch
