Political Quotes

“I introduced H.R. 3889, a comprehensive bill, a little over a hundred pages, that totally would change health care financing in America and it would give patients the power to make the decisions along with their doctor. I wrote the President. He said, If you have any ideas, my door is always open. But I've been knocking on that door over and over again, and it is slammed shut, locked, and I've been trying to open that door that he said was open and it's not been opened. Republicans Go Away is the sign on the door. And we're not being included in this so-called summit, bipartisan summit, on Thursday. Why don't they want us there? Because we know about health care. They're not interested in what we, as physicians, know. They're not interested in our ideas. This is a ruse. It's a show. Nothing but a dog-and-pony show to try to boost the President's approval ratings or try to make him look as if he is reaching out a hand of bipartisanship trying to find solutions for the American people. Actually, it's a fist that he is showing us, and it's a closed fist.”
