Jon Kyl said "I am pleased to address one of the most important issues I think we are going to be talking about all year. I hope our colleagues will permit us to conclude our debate with a vote so we can actually adopt some legislation to deal with this crisis of lawsuit abuse in the United States. Some call it medical malpractice reform. Whatever you call it, we have to deal with it. Unfortunately, what we have heard is that some of our colleagues are going to prevent us from having a vote on the bill that is before us, S. 11. It is a bill that addresses one of the most fundamental problems we have, and that is access to available quality medical care by a lot of people in our society today. We need to reform this flawed medical malpractice system which is prohibiting people from getting the quality medical care they need and deserve." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
