We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and wont leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt. -- Senator Scott Brown
In this week's Republican Address, newly-elected Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts explains that the Democrats running Washington have their Obamacare priorities all wrong:
- Americans told me that they want their President and Congress to focus on creating jobs and reviving Americas economy. Instead, for more than a year now, we have seen a bitter, destructive, and endless drive to completely transform Americas health care system.
- Somehow, the greater the public opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway. Their attitude shows Washington at its very worst the presumption that they know best, and they're going to get their way whether the American people like it or not.
- I haven't been here very long, but, I can tell you this much already: Nothing has distracted the attention and energy of the nations capital more than this disastrous detour. And, the surest way to return to the peoples business is to listen to the people themselves: We need to drop this whole scheme of federally controlled health care, start over, and work together on real reforms at the state level that will contain costs and wont leave America trillions of dollars deeper in debt.

Brown’s victory in the January special election for the late Edward Kennedy's Senate seat provided Republicans with the 41st vote that enables the GOP to maintain a filibuster against unpopular Democrat legislation, like the Obamacare bill.
