As I return home from Congress for an extended work period in the district, I will be devoting most of my time to discussing health care reform with constituents and doctors. For weeks, I made clear to Congressional leaders that we should not rush a vote on health care. I have already met with over 150 doctors and medical professional in our district about health care, and each meeting produces better ideas for improving health care and reducing costs.

Fifth District residents remain very concerned about the level of federal spending and debt that our country has incurred over the past eight years and rightly so. I share this concern and am working with our congressional leadership and the White House to restore fiscal responsibility in Washington. I did vote against the President’s $3.6 trillion budget because I believe it did not go far enough in cutting our deficit. I am encouraged by the White House’s announcement last week that it plans to reinstate statutory PAYGO rules.
