Political Quotes

“Never before in the history of our Nation has such a massive change in policy been made on a purely partisan basis and in the face of such overwhelming opposition. Tragically, this bill will destroy freedom and do incredible damage to the very fabric of our society. This bill is a bailout for the insurance companies. They get the individual mandate that they wanted all along--a mandate that is un-American and unconstitutional. Mark my words: The massive expansion of Medicaid in this bill will bankrupt our States. Premiums for average Americans will go up, taxes will go up, the deficit will go up, and the debt will go up. This bill is the epitome of Washington politicians telling the American people, We know better how to run your lives than you do. We owe the American people much better than this. We owe them real health care reform. We owe them the kind of reforms that will bring down their premiums. We owe them across-State-line purchases. We owe them health care pooling so that the sick and the ill and those with preexisting conditions can get their health care paid for. We owe America better than this.”
