Political Quotes

“This is the most remarkable of all Chambers where discussions take place, because in this Chamber if you say something that is not true, often enough somebody will believe that it's actually true. What I have heard today on the floor I am just going, well, that's a marvelous thing, when in fact our colleagues on the Republican side want to enact reforms that are already in place. Already in place is the Patients' Bill of Rights. No rescisions. No preexisting conditions. Children being able to stay, or young adults being able to stay on their parents' policies until the age of 26. They say they want it--it's already the law of America. Wow. What are we going to repeal? You are going to repeal that? You want small businesses to be well taken care of? Well, so do we. That's why, if you employ less than 50 people as a small business you don't have any requirements at all. But if you want to provide health insurance to your employees, wow, the government's going to give you a subsidy, 35 percent now, building to 50 percent in the years ahead. What's wrong with that? Where's the harm to small business? What in the world are our colleagues talking about here? I don't get it. It's in the law already. Everything I have heard here in the last half hour is the law of America. So why are you repealing it?”
