Political Quotes

“Before coming to this House, I have actually been taking care of patients for the last 30 years, and as a surgeon, I work with patients to provide care and earn their trust. The doctor-patient relationship is the very foundation of the practice of medicine. Unfortunately, the health care law passed in the last Congress does not build the doctor-patient relationship; it undermines it. Full of hidden costs and red tape, the law overregulates and limits patient choices. We need to repeal this bill, start over, and craft health care legislation that actually puts patients first and puts them in charge of their care. Repealing this bill is not the end of health care reform. This gives us a second chance to tackle the problems of our system while focusing on what makes our system great.”
