Political Quotes

“I yield myself the balance of my time. I am from Michigan, and 75 years ago, a predecessor brought forth ideas that at long last we would lift the shame of millions of Americans who go to bed without health care. Since that time, the numbers have grown. Today, there are over 50 million. There was a reference to children. How many children today go to bed without a stitch of health care? Millions. How many women today go to bed without any health care coverage? We provided for seniors, and we have, so far, left most everybody out who needs some health care. Then someone has the nerve to come forth and say there isn't enough money to implement--when Republicans won't provide that money. Someone comes forth here and says there isn't the money to cover those with preexisting conditions, and Republicans won't provide the money to provide further help for those people. You talk about repeal and replace. The disgrace here is you're fixed on repeal, and you never have come forth to satisfy the needs and the conscience of the people of this country. That's a disgrace. This bill is a disgrace. The Republican conduct on this has been disgraceful. I yield back the balance of my time.”
