Congressman Ted Poe delivered copies of the House Healthcare Bill, HR. 3962 to local libraries throughout the Second Congressional district.

"Americans have made it clear that they want to know what is in this bill before Congress votes on it," said Poe. "My staff and I have been delivering copies to local libraries and I have a link on my website so that anyone that wants to see the bill will have access to it."

"I do not support this bill," continued Poe. "The second verse is the same as the first - only longer. It is 1,990 pages and still costs over a trillion dollars. And like before, it's more of the same job-killing employer mandates, budget-busting entitlement expansions, and countless provisions that put bureaucrats between you and your doctor. The American people want reform, not a government take-over of our healthcare system."
