CEDAR CREEK, Texas (November 19, 2009)--GOP governors are blistering Democratic health care plans in Congress, saying the legislation will result in crippling costs to states already grappling with huge budget deficits in a recession.

They're urging their Democratic counterparts to publicly oppose the measures, too.

They spoke during a Republican Governors Association conference near Austin, and laid out ideas for doing health care reform in a bipartisan way.

They say legislation in Congress overreaches, and unfairly shifts costs to states.

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels calls cost descriptions of the bill fraudulent and says: "We all know a sucker play when we see one."
