Political Quotes

“let us be sure that when we reform our health care system we don't prescribe a cure that is worse than the problem. All studies show that an employer mandate is just that--maybe more Americans would have health insurance, but at the same time, more Americans would be without jobs. And those who would be hit the hardest are those who are currently falling through the cracks. Job losses would be experienced by those working for small businesses and part-time and low-wage workers. And ironically, the self-employed. Jobs should not be pitted against health care reform. Adding another tax on business is not the prescription for health care reform. It is time that we reject the employer mandate and instead, enact a commonsense bill that treats the real problems. Reforming our health care system is supposed to cure the patient, not send the patient back to the emergency room with another illness.”
