Political Quotes

“are the American people ready for a government-run health care system? According to those who must endure the Italian government-run health care system, they are not. Let me quote from the chief economics adviser of the new Italian Premier: The waste on health care is just incredible. If half the money we spend went to the poorest 20 percent of our population, we would eliminate poverty. If you Americans could see the bureaucratic mess in our health sector, you would think twice about getting the national government involved in such a big way. Mr. Speaker, let us think twice before we get government involved in health care in such a big way. Let us look for solutions that fix the holes in our current system without tearing up the entire system. Let us press for reform in health care, and that does not include a government-run health care system.”
