Bart Stupak: “If the President vetoes this bill, and I hope he will--if he vetoes this bill we will do another bill here, and we will…”

On the recordApril 3, 1995
If the President vetoes this bill, and I hope he will--if he vetoes this bill we will do another bill here, and we will do it quick because I know people on both sides of the aisle do not want those small business people, those self-employed people, to go without the 24 to 30 percent exemption for their health insurance. And I would also predict to my friend from Michigan that the other side will not even try to override that veto. They would not have the guts, the nerve, the chutzpah to bring that bill back with those two provisions and try to convince the American people that this is the right policy for this country.
