Political Quotes

“After a long battle for this Nation's health care reform, my decision to vote in favor of this bill was ultimately made, not by myself, but by the people I represent. This bill is a beginning to the end of an abusive system: It is a beginning to provide the people of our great Nation access the most basic health care services; It is a beginning to stop insurance companies from reaping benefits at the cost of the sick, injured, poor and dying people in our Nation; It is a beginning to making our health care system one that we can be proud of-- One that includes everyone regardless of their social status; One that treats people equal regardless of their age, race or gender; One that makes sure our children are treated properly and that our parents will be provided for in the future; and It finally provides reauthorization of Indian Health Care. Every day I am flooded by groups, businesses and individuals that can no longer bear the abuses from our current health care system.”
