WASHINGTON (23 April) – U.S. Rep. Gus M. Bilirakis (R-Fla.), representing Florida’s 9th Congressional District, today issued the following statement in response to the analysis of the Democrats’ health care law from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS):

"This sobering report confirms what many Floridians have known from day one; ObamaCare will cause health care costs to rise while jeopardizing access to care for seniors. According to the analysis, millions of seniors across the country will be forced off their current Medicare coverage and national health care costs will increase by more than $300 billion over the next decade.

“ObamaCare should be replaced with sensible solutions that will bring down health care costs and give Florida’s seniors piece of mind.”
