Political Quotes

“this is a debate about one basic issue: Will all Americans have health care coverage? Right now they don't. Almost 39 million Americans are uninsured. Eight million of them are children. Think about that. In this, our rich country, 8 million children are without insurance coverage, and the fact of the matter is they are the children of working parents, because sadly, most Americans without insurance are working. They play by the rules, but they are still left out. Being uninsured matters. Women who don't get mammograms die more often from breast cancer. People with diabetes who don't get home care end up in hospitals, and families without health insurance worry that they will go bankrupt if a child gets sick. There is much that is good in our health care system, but there is much that is wrong and must be fixed. What we need to do is subject any health proposal, Democrat or Republican, to one simple test: Does it guarantee that all Americans will have health care coverage? That is real reform.”
