Hagel urges Congress to act on health care

Associated Press - October 10, 2009 6:35 PM ET

WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel is urging Congress to act now to overhaul the nation's health care system.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the Republican says Congress has an obligation to help struggling families and business. That means putting aside partisan politics to pass a reform bill.

Hagel served two terms as a U.S. senator. He did not seek re-election last November.
