Every process must end. After dozens of hearings on health care, we have all of the information that we need to create strong legislation to provide much needed health insurance reform. The American people cannot wait. It is time to vote. Rising health care costs are crushing families and businesses, forcing small business owners to choose between health care and jobs. This isn't about politics or poll numbers. This is about making good on the promise of providing every American access to high quality, affordable health care. This is about having the courage to do what is right. By voting for health insurance reform now, we are supporting the millions of Americans who quietly struggle every day with a system that works better for the insurance companies than it does for them. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues, Democrat and Republican, to join us in helping the American people by voting for health insurance reform now.
