WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Herb Kohl, Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, released the following statement on President Barack Obama's address on health care reform to a joint session of Congress:
"President Obama is correct in saying that it is time to move forward with health care legislation. As we do so, it is crucial that we begin to move toward universal coverage-but it is also equally important that we address the out-of-control health care costs which affect every American family, every business, as well as our government."
