(CNSNews.com) - New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Congress must pass immigration and tort reform to get health care costs under control. He was responding to a question about House Republicans voting for a Continuing Resolution (CR) that funds implementation of the Democrats' health care law.

Last month, Bloomberg predicted that the Republicans would cut off funds for the implementation of the health care law.

CNSNews.com asked Bloomberg, “The news today is that with the health care law, the Republicans did not defund it in the CR, and you in the past predicted that they would defund the health care law...

Bloomberg responded, “Well, I hope the people understand we have to provide health care but the issue is what kind of health care we have to sit back and take a look. We have to find some ways to reduce our costs. We can’t spend 25 percent of our budget on health care and you got to really question whether we’re doing the right things. In Western Europe, they spend about $3,300 per capita.â€
