Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today, proud of what we've accomplished with President Obama, our House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and now the United States Senate to bring quality, affordable health care to the American people. But our pride is tempered by humility, the humility of knowing that we have brought health care coverage to millions of women who now will no longer have to pay more than men just because they're women. Our pride is tempered by the humility of knowing that children who have preexisting conditions will now be able to also have health care. Our pride is tempered by the humility of knowing that for thousands and thousands of small business owners across this country, they'll now be able to provide health care coverage for themselves and their employees. Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to have joined our forefathers and foremothers who brought us Social Security, civil rights, Medicare, and now health care to the American people. ____________________”
