Ensign: We Need To Do Everything We Can To Help
January 14, 2010 – Las Vegas, NV – Senator John Ensign today made the following statement regarding the devastating earthquake in Haiti:
“My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this unimaginable disaster. It is times like these when we are reminded that we are part of a world community and we need to do what we can to help. I know there are Nevadans who are waiting anxiously for word on their loved ones who were in the country at the time of the disaster, and my thoughts are with them.”
Senator Ensign has posted links to online resources for constituents who are looking for information on the earthquake in Haiti to his site (www.ensign.senate.gov).
Ensign: Americans Won’t Stand For More Sweetheart Deals In Healthcare Bill
January 14, 2010 – Las Vegas, NV – Senator John Ensign made the following statement today in response to the report that the White House has reached a deal with union heads to give their members an exemption until 2017 on a proposed tax to “Cadillac Plans” in the Democrats’ healthcare reform bill:
“This is just the latest of the secret sweetheart deals being handed out as favors in the Democrats’ healthcare bill, cut by the White House this time. By this point it should be clear that the so-called 40% ‘Cadillac Plan’ tax in the healthcare bill is a bad idea that hurts Americans, especially middle-income families who bear the brunt of it.
“It’s wrong to keep carving out Democrat cronies from the onerous provisions of this bill and make average Americans suffer. This is just another example of why this bill needs to be scrapped and we need to start over. I’ve spent this past week talking to Nevadans in town hall meetings, and it’s clear they are outraged by these deals. Americans won’t stand for more favors being given out in this bill at the expense of their paychecks.”
