Henry Waxman actually said...

"the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. We should all be united in seeing that its implementation works."

"The Medicaid expansion in the Affordable Care Act is a tremendous step forward for our health care system."

"Medicaid is an expensive program but we have a lot of people who are very poor in this country, and we can save a lot of money if we didn't give them health care."

"We understood this to be a good compromise that showed unlicensed and licensed uses did not have to be mutually exclusive."
