Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 19, 2010
In closing, I support the underlying bill that we have been talking about, H. Res. 1174, Women's History Month and urge people to vote for it. But I do want to say that Republicans have been maligned, I believe, on the floor today in many, many ways. A majority of Republicans in the House voted for Medicare. Republicans support Medicare and support Social Security. We have never, ever suggested doing away with those programs. We know that the bill that is being proposed by the Democrats does not control cost, will not improve access, will not improve care for people in this country, and we know that is going to happen. We want to protect the American people. We want to protect their freedom. We do not want to turn our lives over to the government to run not just health care, but everything about our lives.
