“when it comes to this health care debate, we have to ask ourselves: What are the Washington liberal Democrats afraid of? Why are the Democrats so anticonsumer choice? Why are they so against power to the people? Why are they doing everything possible to defeat medical savings accounts, which would allow their own constituents to have more health care choices without the edicts and interference of insurance companies, health care agencies, managed care business types? Why are Democrats afraid of consumer choice? It is simple. If their constituents find out that they are in a better position to make choices that suit themselves better than what Washington liberals want them to do, then their consumers and constituents are going to figure out, you know, ``We do not need all the bureaucracy that the Democrats keep taxing us for. In fact, we do not need these Democrats.'' They will probably invite them to come home. That, Mr. Speaker, seems to be why they are so afraid of anything that would give more decision-making power to the American consumers and less to the Washington bureaucracy. Vote for the Republican health care reform plan.”
