It would seem to be the fundamental compassion of a human being to make sure that their children and the community's children, indeed our Nation's children, have health care. And we should extend that well beyond to all of us. It is not in our interest as human beings who presumably have compassion to leave people without health care. We are not rushing to judgment here. We have been at this in America for more than a century. And this House has been at it for a year, heavily debated. ... So this is not something that is being rushed to judgment. In fact, it has been debated for a century.
