Political Quotes

“You know, I kind of like this chart because I think that some entrepreneur could make money with this chart. If you were to just shrink it down a little smaller and add some additional lines, you could start over here. These are the consumers. These are the people who are sick. The medical professionals are over there. You could sell it to restaurants as a placemat and give people crayons, and customers could try and draw and see if they could get through the maze to get over to the health care professionals, because that's a little bit how this looks. Now, maybe that sounds like a silly thing to say; but, gentleman, you're in the business in your office--among other parts of the work that we do as Congressmen, we get phone calls from our constituents. Our constituents want us to help them solve problems that they're having with the Federal Government. I'm thinking, if this system gets put in, I'm going to have I don't know how many thousands of people every day on my phone, saying, 'I need this kind of medical care, and I can't get through this system'. They're going to ask me to help them do it. I'm going to say, 'Fat chance. This is a mess.'”
