Right now on Capitol Hill, Harry Reid and his liberal cohorts are locked behind closed doors working on their government-run health care experiment, which the American people have made clear they don't support. However, the Democrats are simply not listening.

The American people support common-sense incremental reforms that will make health care more affordable and accessible, and will protect the doctor-patient relationship without adding to the national deficit.  But Democrats aren't interested in that kind of reform.  President Obama and Congressional Democrats support a government-run health care system that raises premiums, increases taxes, and cuts Medicare.

But some Democrats don't seem to be listening.

Since November 30th, my Republican colleagues and I have taken to the Senate floor every single day to show the American people exactly what is in the Democrats' health care bill. Through our efforts, we've identified several Democrat Senators who are extremely uncomfortable with the bill. Unfortunately, Democrats have taken their efforts behind closed doors where they are adding and subtracting provisions in a feverish effort to round up enough votes to pass this health care experiment with the support of only Democrat Senators.
