Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 23, 1994
We will not get to choose our own doctors. And it is going to cost more. Doesn't sound too good, does it? But wait. It gets worse. Tens of thousands of new, Government health care bureaucrats come with the deal. And a job-killing payroll tax gets slapped on American businesses. And nobody in the Clinton administration seems to have the slightest clue as to what the long-range cost to the American taxpayers is going to be. That is President Clinton's government-run health care proposal in a nutshell. Mr. Speaker, I just want to reiterate that Republicans have offered an alternative to socialized medicine. The Michel plan contains no new taxes. It comes without the bureaucrats. And it preserves the individual choice which is so important to every American family. Let us not do something we will all regret for a long time to come. Let us reject the Clinton Government-run health care plan and adopt the Michel alternative.
