On the recordMarch 19, 2010
Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I would like to enter into a colloquy with my colleague from New Jersey who earlier spoke of the truth, what is actually in the bill. One of the things that is not in the bill but is actually a fact is that in America about 45,000 people a year die because they lack health insurance. They don't have the opportunity to see a doctor on a regular basis, and they wind up in the emergency room very, very sick. The truth is that under this legislation, 32 million Americans will be able to get health insurance, and poor people will see an expansion of the Medicaid program so that they get in under that program. That is in the legislation, is it not?
