LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada Sen. John Ensign says small businesses owners want Congress to repeal the sweeping federal health care bill that was signed into law last year.
Ensign told a group of restaurant owners Tuesday in Las Vegas that health care opponents should contact their representatives and urge them to overturn the legislation.
KLAS-TV reports that Ensign made his comments during a breakfast hosted by the Nevada Restaurant Association.
The Republican is preparing to run for re-election and could face tough opposition from within his party.
Some restaurant owners at the gathering complained the federal government has over-regulated the industry, contributing to the troubled economy.
