“I think as people are tuned in and hopefully listening and finding this, our conversation, enlightening, the reason why we point out, excuse the expression, the ying and yang of this, is that what has taken place in the Senate around this bipartisan bill and the promise to keep it clean is to keep it uncomplicated. With the ingredients that are already there, they are winning ingredients. We know that a souffle only rises once, and so we want to capture that opportunity. For that set of ingredients that has been agreed to and I think will breed the success that we are looking for, these two major, important health care reforms for the people of America, that we duplicate that recipe and those ingredients in the House. If in fact other ingredients are thrown into this so that the souffle does not rise, then I do not think it is difficult to predict. We will lumber toward the end of the 104th Congress, I think, with egg on the face, most frankly, because the American people are exhausted with the partisanship that comes around these life issues and what secures their family.”
