GOP Governors Attack Democratic Health Care Plans
The nation’s Republican governors are meeting in Texas and they’re on the offensive against Democratic health care reform plans now before the House and Senate.

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."
