Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, America is hurting, but the health care law passed last year did not fix any problems. It will only make things worse. Small businesses can barely make ends meet. And now the Federal Government is imposing more mandates, more taxes, and more red tape? Enough is enough. As a health care provider, a small business owner, and a father, I know that the way to provide health care to more individuals and create more jobs is not through government bureaucracies, deficit spending, and higher taxes. Rather, we need to empower businesses--big and small--to band together to purchase health insurance. We need to open markets with free competition. We also need to implement real health care reform that will lower the cost of care and open up access. Tort reform, red tape reform, preexisting conditions reform: these are reforms that will work--reforms the current law fails to adequately address or ignores altogether. If we are serious about putting our Nation back to work, then we can start by repealing this onerous health care law and work hand-in-hand with the American people to implement true health care reform.”
