(WASHINGTON D.C.) – Sen. Bob Bennett is blasting the Obama administration in their new effort of using reconciliation that would allow the Democrat’s health care plan to pass with a simple majority. Bennett said it’s outrageous to him that after several months of an outcry of opposition by Americans, President Obama has decided to forge ahead and use any tactic available to jam through his health care bill. Bennett said the president’s “new bill” will still raise taxes, increase premiums and slash Medicare. He said his partisan bill is facing bipartisan opposition from a vast majority of Americans. Bennett says he’ll continue to call on the president to scrap the current proposals, start over and focus on step-by-step reforms to lower the cost of health care.
