Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I understand that major laws often have winners and losers. Unfortunately, I am struggling to figure out who wins under this healthcare plan. We have seen who stands to lose: 24 million fewer people will have insurance; States will lose billions, forcing painful cuts to education and other services; California, alone, will lose $6 billion in 2020 and much more in the years that follow; hospitals and clinics will have to cut back on services and investments. So, who are the winners? It is hard to find any, except, of course, for insurance companies and millionaires who will get almost all of the tax relief included in this package. Do Americans really think that we should pass a bill that cuts coverage in order to give millionaires an average tax cut of $49,000? We can do better. I hope we will. ____________________”
