Political Quotes

On the recordMay 16, 2013
3 years after the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, a law that is already helping millions of Americans, our friends on the other side of the aisle are wasting time again on a pointless symbolic vote that will never become law and takes us backwards. For the 37th time, our colleagues are forcing us to vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act when they know--they know--it has no chance of succeeding. For the 37th time, they are voting to allow insurance companies to deny coverage to children with preexisting conditions. For the 37th time, they are voting to roll back our efforts to not allow insurance companies to charge women more just because they are women. And for the 37th time, they are voting to strip small businesses of protections against the skyrocketing insurance premiums we faced long before the ACA. Einstein used to say: Insanity is when one attempts to do the same thing over and over again--expecting a different result. This is wrong for the 37th time and a waste of our time. ____________________
