Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I stand here not as a Member of the Congress, but as a doctor. And as a doctor, health care is about taking care of patients. That is why the bill that might come before us is a bad bill. It raises the cost of care for many people. It makes millions of folks lose their health insurance. It raises the cost on elderly patients. There is an age tax in there. This is a bad bill. Let's go back to the drawing board. Let's come together as Democrats and Republicans, and let's make sure health care is available and affordable for every American. I don't want to go back to the days where I would see a patient who may have cancer and I couldn't take care of them because they didn't have that healthcare coverage. Let's go back to the drawing board. This is a bad bill. You guys know it is a bad bill. Let's do this, and let's come up with a better bill. ____________________”
