Henry Waxman said "I just want to say to my good friends who feel that we've got to move the bill forward and we've got to get a better bill, I understand that, and this bill is going to move forward. But for those who really want a good bill, we're not getting one out of this House. It's better to vote ``no'' to show that you want a better bill than to vote ``yes'' for the small changes that the Republicans have given to some of our Democrats that may improve the bill on the margins, but the bill is not good enough for an ``aye'' vote.
