On the recordAugust 4, 1998
just in case there are any questions left about what is wrong with health care in America and the failure of the Republican proposal in this House, my family has had another opportunity to see America's present health care system up close and personal. My brother, who runs the dairy farm that we live on, woke up one morning with the right side of his face paralyzed from blind tick palsy. He had no sensation on the right side of his face. ``Silly brother,'' Ike thought, ``this was serious.'' So he went to the emergency room. But not his insurance company. They rejected the claim. Americans are being injured and harassed by the present system. We need to applaud President Clinton for his efforts to move health care forward and let doctors and hospitals make decisions about health care and not the profits of the managed care companies.
