Group In Sioux Falls Protests Health Care Bill

Tools

By KSFY Staff

Dozens of people who are upset with the house version of the bill protested in front of congresswoman Stephanie Herseth Sandlin's Sioux Falls office today.

The group is pushing for Herseth Sandlin to not only vote against the bill, they want her to do to more to shape legislation moving through the house.

One protestor says, "The reason i'm here today is because I'd like to see Stephanie Herseth do something more than help formulate the bill and then vote against it."

Here's the statement we received from Betsy Hart, Herseth Sandlin's press secretary:

"The congresswoman is carefully reviewing the health care reform legislation proposed in the house to determine whether it meets her goals for health care reform. She believes that we need to reform health care - but it has to be done right."
