Political Quotes

“I am Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi from the great Eighth District of Illinois. I have the honor of representing the hardworking families of Chicago's west and northwest suburbs. Before I took the oath of office last week, I was the president of small businesses in the Chicago area. As a small-business man, I stand here to say that repealing without replacing the Affordable Care Act would harm our economy and, with it, our working and middle class families. Across our Nation, repealing without replacing the Affordable Care Act would destroy up to 3 million good-paying jobs and destroy $1.5 trillion in economic activity. Across Illinois, repealing without replacing the ACA would cost upwards of 100,000 jobs; and in the Eighth District alone, repealing without replacing the ACA would cost upwards of 4,000 jobs. Middle class families need good-paying jobs and affordable health care. Repealing without replacing the ACA would, unfortunately, rob them of both. ____________________”
