“The Washington Post today on the front page said: Pelosi may try to pass health bill without a vote. May try to pass health bill without a vote. I didn't even think that was possible, but apparently The Washington Post and the Speaker of the House think it's possible. It's no wonder, Madam Speaker, that the country is outraged not just by the bill, but by the process. This was like the Speaker's statement that said we would have to pass the bill so we could know what's in it. Madam Speaker, this bill does not reduce costs. It cuts Medicare and increases taxes for 10 years and spends the money in 6 years. Madam Speaker, this bill throws the health care system up in the air and just hopes that the greatest health care system in the world is still there when it lands a few years from now. Madam Speaker, I hope that we have a vote on this bill, a debate on this bill and we do not pass this bill with a vote.”
