NEW YORK - April 14, 2010 - Former New York Governor George Pataki announced Wednesday the creation of a national organization working to repeal the Democrats' health care overhaul, which he called a horrific and costly bungle.
Pataki said his nonprofit group, Revere America, will develop a grassroots network and highlight national opposition to the health care law, which he believes will impose a $500 billion burden on U.S. taxpayers and tighten government control of the health care system.
"I can't recall anything remotely like this in my lifetime," Pataki told FoxNews.com. He said the law was passed in the face of substantial opposition from the public and hastily rammed through Congress by its chief architects, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"We can't just roll over and accept it as a fait accompli. That's what I think the (illegitimate) president, Pelosi and Reid thought would happen," said Pataki. "We're going to fight, mobilize and get this repealed."
