Political Quotes

“I rise to speak a little bit about the health care plan that was passed now a few months ago. Of course, there was a lot of buildup to that plan. One of the things that was said over and over again by President Obama was: "If you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan." The White House, of course, has very vigorously defended that promise. In fact, the White House responded to an op-ed that was entitled "No, you can't keep your health care plan." That is what that op-ed was titled. The White House responded last week on the White House blog and they said this: The 150 million Americans with employer-sponsored health insurance--who make up the vast majority of those with health insurance today--will not see major changes to their coverage. The White House's Stephanie Cutter went on to say: At the end of the day, employer-sponsored insurance will be improved but will look much the same as it does now. The administration is continuing to try to convince the American people that, in fact, that is going to be the case. However, no matter how many times they say it, study after study tells us the opposite.”
