Madam Speaker, it's time to unite behind President Obama's plan. We must deliver affordable health care for the American people. Insurance companies have taken advantage of hardworking Americans for far too long. It's morally wrong to put profits over people, and it must come to an end. I urge my colleagues to put aside their differences and deliver a victory for the American people. This Congress was elected to accomplish this goal. How can we accomplish this goal of health insurance reform without holding the insurance companies accountable? I'm for the people of America, and I stand with you. Now is the time for us to, in unity, come together and solve this dilemma for the American people. I urge you to vote ``yes'' for people over process. ____________________
