“Chris Murphy and his colleagues should be ashamed of themselves for ramming through the health care bill against the will of the American people,” Bernier said in a statement.<\/font> “<\/font><\/span><\/span>Connecticut voters say they want real health care reforms to reduce costs and expand access to care.<\/font> <\/font><\/span>This bill fails on both counts; it represents a government takeover that will explode the budget deficit and lead to higher prices.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n <\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n “Voters tell me they are upset with their representatives in Congress because they are not representing the will of the people.<\/font> <\/font><\/span>Chris Murphy’s vote of ‘Yes’ for this health care takeover is more proof that he has turned a deaf ear to the people of Connecticut.<\/font> <\/font><\/span>We must – and will – clean house in November.”<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n
