In an interview with WSLS-TV in Roanoke, Virginia Senator Jim Webb expressed some serious concerns about the health care bill, which was recently signed into law by President Barack Obama. Webb said:
“Realistically, I hope we can find efficiencies in Medicare, but I don’t think we’ll find a half trillion dollars in Medicare,” Sen. Webb said. He also has deep reservations about the cost estimates put forth by the Congressional Budget Office.
WARREN: “Do you buy those numbers and will there really be a cost savings related to health care?”
WEBB: “I’ve been skeptical about the numbers. I’ve said it from the beginning. It’s my biggest problem with the legislation.”
Why didn’t Webb vote against the Health Care bill in December if he had reservations? He was the deciding vote.
