Richard Gephardt: “Mr. Bliley, you were talking before about the question of choice. You…”

On the recordMarch 16, 1994

Mr. Bliley, you were talking before about the question of choice. You were talking also about costs, and I would simply like to ask why it is that none of the Republican plans, except perhaps the plan by the gentleman from California [Mr. Thomas] and the gentlewoman from Connecticut [Mrs. Johnson], really tries to get everybody involved in health care, really makes an attempt. I do not agree entirely with the way they do it, but at least they have made an attempt. Why are you not for that?
