A number of Republican Congressmen called upon President to support the a number of other plans as an alternative to a publicly funded health insurance option.

“Mr. President, there are alternatives to a government takeover of healthcare. The American people are rejecting the liberal, big government approach. They don’t want an approach that put’s the government first, they want an approach that put patients first,” said Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.).

Among the plans put forward by Republicans are the Empowering Patients First Act, the Patients’ Choice Act and the Improving Health Care For All Americans Act.

“No less than three dozen health bills have been introduced by Republicans this year,” Rep. Tom Price, MD (R-Ga.) said.

“We hope the President will recognize that and work with us to find common ground,” Price added.

“I call on our Democratic colleagues in Congress to bring the Iran Petroleum Sanctions Act to the floor this week,” said Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) “It will send the precise, correct message to the President of Iran.” (0:37)
