Political Quotes

“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am a medical doctor. I have practiced medicine in Georgia for almost four decades. As a medical doctor with all of that clinical experience--I'm a family doc, a primary care provider. I've examined the proposal that the White House put forward just 2 days ago. Frankly, I've got a diagnosis. I cannot give ObamaCare 2.0 a clean bill of health. What I can diagnose for the American people, though, is this: It's going to make the American people sick--sick in their wallets because it's going to cost more. Health care costs in this country are going to skyrocket because of this ObamaCare proposal that the White House recently put out. As The Wall Street Journal just very aptly said in an editorial this morning: The White House has accomplished a great thing. They took the most onerous pieces of the House bill and the Senate bill and combined them to make the current proposal of ObamaCare that the White House is putting forward even worse than either of those bills. The quality of health care in this country is going to go down. It's going to go down because doctors and patients will no longer be able to make health care decisions. It is going to be made by a Federal bureaucrat here in Washington, D.C.--one that doesn't, in all probability, have any medical training whatsoever.”
