Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the majority's efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act and make America sick again. It is atrocious that Republicans intend to repeal ObamaCare without any plan for replacement. It is barbaric to take health care away from 30 million Americans. It is cruel and disgraceful to go back to the dark times when there were annual and lifetime limits on care for all Americans. It is gutless to repeal the law that protected breast cancer survivors like me and up to 129 million Americans with preexisting conditions. It is fraudulent to tell the American people that we can keep popular provisions like that one without any mechanism to share risk to keep health care affordable. It is greedy to give insurance and drug companies billions of dollars in tax breaks but cut funding for Medicaid expansion. It is heartless to take away free preventive services like cancer screenings from 55 million Americans, particularly seniors and people with disabilities in Medicare. It is indefensible to roll back the $23.5 billion in prescription drug savings realized by seniors on Medicare in the donut hole. It is past time--long past time--that my Republican colleagues understand from A to Z that repeal is unacceptable and a disaster waiting to happen. ____________________”
