West to appear on TV show critical of health care bill

U.S. Rep. Allen West (R-Plantation) will appear with two other Republican members of Congress -- Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and Mike Pence of Indiana -- on the Jan. 9 Coral Ridge Hour TV program.

The subject, according to a press release about the program: "the ill-effects of Obamacare."

Here is what West, who represents parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties, says in the press release:

“It is not so much about making [health care] accessible to Americans,” West points out on the broadcast. “What the government is really trying to do in the end game is to drive more people to a government plan, to a single-payer type of plan.”

 West says that strategy is part of a larger goal. “There is a dishonest tyranny in the liberal, progressive, socialist agenda that comes down and says, ‘you know, we are here because we care about you. We want what’s best for you. But really what they want is the control of your life.”
