Patricia Schroeder: “I stand in this well to admit that I was wrong, and I must correct my remarks. I have been here several times protesting…”

“I stand in this well to admit that I was wrong, and I must correct my remarks. I have been here several times protesting the $63 million that we heard Rupert Murdoch got slipped into the bill that was to give relief to middle Americans on their health care coverage. Well, I find out it is not $63 million, it is more like $38 million. But I am still just as outraged that he would get this $38 million rebate on the backs of the middle class. I do not know what we can do at the end to correct this. We have introduced bills. We have tried to bring it to the floor, and today I am introducing one more bill that says in the future when this process is used to slip something in that this body never considered nor knew was in there, we must be told. I think it is unbelievable these kinds of games are going on, and I think the American public expects a whole lot more from us. I think we are here to protect them and not to line the pockets of fat cats.”
