Political Quotes

It was very interesting. Of course, they have opposed the Affordable Care Act and have tried to repeal it--what?--50- some times now, but yet have captured the savings, which the Affordable Care Act is very clear on having made, to base their budget on those captured savings. I think that, again, it is fuzzy math, and it is a way to deceive the public. It is a way to promote their policies of making sure that those who have access to affordable health care now don't have it in the future and that those who need it will be prevented from gaining it through the Affordable Care Act.
