Congressman Burgess To Deliver Speaker Pelosi’s Massive Health Care Bill to North Texans
Encourages North Texans to read the bill and contact him with their concerns
Washington,
Oct 30 -
Congressmen Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (Texas-26) will share the House Majority’s massive health care overhaul bill, H.R. 3962, to North Texans. Burgess will leave a copy of the legislation at the North Richland Hills Library on Monday, November 2, at 10:00 AM, so North Texans have a chance to read the 1,990-page bill.
After weeks of closed doors meetings inside the Capitol, Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled the bill on the steps outside the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, with a vote on final passage expected in the week ahead.
“While Speakers Pelosi’s event was by invite only, I will not be checking IDs at the door,” Burgess said. “This event will be open to the public, and I encourage North Texans to stop by the library to read the bill.”
