Political Quotes

“Well, I'd say to my friend from North Carolina that he was talking about the fact that seniors will see this doughnut hole, their prescription drug prices go back up, the costs go back up; but even, I think, more worrisome than that is the fact that, under the Affordable Care Act, those same seniors receive $250. In my district in Colorado, the suburbs of Denver, 31,000 seniors received this past fall $250 in assistance to payments of their prescription drugs. Even with that, we still save the $230 billion that you were talking about. Yet, when the Republicans repeal this in kind of an ``all or nothing'' situation, do those seniors have to pay that $250 back, each of them? I don't know. I think they ought to be worried about that, and that's why this is such an extreme measure. They are taking away freedoms that belong to the people, that belong to Americans. They are doing it in a radical and ideological way.”
