On the recordMay 18, 1994
there are two roads to health care reform. The partisan path is cluttered with extremist plans, conflicting ideologies, some stubborn chairmen, and far-off dreams. Every good intention, every brilliant idea, every necessary reform on this path is bottled up in policy gridlock. The bipartisan path is free of the partisan extremism found in the first road. It contains only those willing to put special interests aside for the national interest rather than building these useless bureaucratic loops. It promotes common sense and quick action. Every single American will be impacted by the health care reform bill that Congress passes, and yet it appears that some remain willing to keep health care reform a partisan issue. Let us put partisanship behind and craft a health care reform bill that can pass with over 300 votes in this House that will be real change.
