Sen. Thune: Health Care Plan Is Top Priority For GOP
Senate Republican Policy Committee Chairman John Thune discusses health care reform in the Weekly Republican Address. Sen. Thune urges "the right kind of reform," which protects doctors and hospitals from frivolous lawsuits and equalizes the tax code for individuals and employers. Sen Thune warns that the Democrats' plans are "the mother of all unfunded mandates," as one Democrat governor put it, and expresses his concern about how it will affect the budgets of states like South Dakota.
