Political Quotes

“this amendment is a wonderful example of what can be done when we work together to solve problems. The beneficiaries of the work that has been done by Senators Snowe, Nelson, DeWine, and Lincoln are not the Members of the Senate but the people of this country, the families who need quality health care, and the employers that need to be protected from unnecessary lawsuits and unnecessary litigation. First, I thank Senator Snowe for her leadership. She has taken the lead on this issue from the beginning. Her work has been absolutely crucial. My friend, Mr. DeWine, the Senator from Ohio, has also lent tremendous leadership and expertise to the work on this effort. I also thank my colleague seated near me, Senator Nelson from Nebraska, who not only brings great expertise to this issue both as Governor and as insurance commissioner of the State of Nebraska, but he has been dogged in his determination to ensure that the small employers, particularly, and employers generally, of America are protected in this legislation.”
