I can't support legislation rammed through Congress that will raise our taxes, increase insurance premiums, and promise to make drastic cuts in Medicare. Americans deserve better than this law.

I will work to build true health care reform that focuses on free market competition, patient choice and high quality of care.Source: Campaign website, kevinyoder.com, "Priorities" Nov 2, 2010
