Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 23, 2017
I never thought in coming to Congress that I would be voting on legislation that would take away health insurance from 24 million Americans, including my own constituents. The Speaker said that this legislation is an act of mercy. I think it is merciless. Every human being has a spark of divinity in them, and we dishonor that with this legislation. It is not worthy of the American people. There is less coverage, higher costs, elimination of essential services--not only for what people need day to day but for the unexpected. That is what insurance is all about. There is a crushing age tax for people between the ages of 50 and 64. What has happened to the GOP? Is it now ``get older people''? This does not deserve one vote in the House of Representatives. It is shameful, and it is immoral.
