Bart Stupak: “It is only fair to our audience to let them know where we are now. This bill has gone through both the House and Senate…”

On the recordApril 3, 1995
It is only fair to our audience to let them know where we are now. This bill has gone through both the House and Senate and the conference reports, and we voted on it. It is now on its way to the President. And one of the things I have asked for tonight and I hope others would join with me in urging the President to veto this whole bill, the bill that is on its way to his desk to allow that tax break for the self-employed individuals. We do not want to hurt that part of the bill. We want to kill the $63 million deal that we see for Mr. Murdoch. But the only way we can kill that whole situation is ask for the President to veto that bill. If he vetoes the bill, I would urge my support, I am sure the Democratic leadership would do the same, to bring a bill to permanently extend that self-insured business deduction expense for health care for working Americans.
