Rep. Ownes to Vote for Health Care Bill

Sat, Mar 20, 2010

Congressman Bill Owens, whose district inlcudes the greater hamilton area today said he will vote in favor of the health care reform bill on Sunday.

Owens had been undecided as late as this morning. He said he was worried about what might happen if nothing was done.

In a statement on his website, Owens said:

"It is estimated that premium costs will go up at least another $45 billion, costing our economy at least $90 billion annually.  In short, while Americans spend almost $2.5 trillion annually on health care, this legislation makes fiscal sense.  For those reasons and many others, I intend to vote in favor of health care reform when it comes before the House of Representatives this Sunday."
