The health insurance industry--and the Senator knows this--objects to, opposes the bipartisan bill which I support. They would gladly accept your alternative because it is much more preferable to them because it is more profitable to them. That is as obvious as this debate is. I think that is the difference between us. We stand here supported by nurses and doctors and medical professionals, hospital associations across America. The health insurance companies are our No. 1 opposition. They support your legislation. They don't support ours.
