Political Quotes

“the American people have heard a lot about change these days, but exactly what will that change be and what will it mean to them? Well, today, real change will come to Washington when this House passes an expansion of the Children's Health Insurance Program. This is legislation that will have a direct impact on children in our country. When we pass this bill today, an additional 4 million children living without health insurance will soon be able to afford seeing a doctor. Congress has worked hard to pass this legislation twice, sending it to President Bush, and both times he vetoed this bill. But now, change has come to Washington. Today, the House will pass legislation very similar to what President Bush vetoed twice; only this time, we will reach a total of 11 million children. And President Obama is expected to sign this bill later today. This is change we can believe in, and that's going to mean a lot to the 4 million children who will now be able to see a doctor when they are sick.”
