Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 10, 2012
I think it's worthwhile to remember why Congress passed health care reform in the first place. It's because our system was broken; it wasn't working. But just this morning, Speaker Boehner said that we needed to repeal the Affordable Care Act because we didn't need it because we had the best health care system the world has ever seen. Well, I don't think that was true for 17 million children who were being denied health insurance for preexisting conditions. I don't think that was true for about 3.1 million young adults who were denied coverage because they were kicked off their parents' insurance plans. And I don't think that was true for 40 million Americans who couldn't get coverage and for every family threatened with losing their coverage because of rising costs. If we need to tweak the law, let's work together to fix it, but let's not repeal it. I think that would be bad for our health. ____________________
