“The U.S. Senate passed, by a vote of 100 to 0, a bill dealing with health care. It was a piece of legislation that almost every American believes is long past due. It says the kind of commonsense things like this: You ought to be able to take your health care with you when you move from one job to another. Your health care plan ought to be portable. This legislation says to every American family that when you move from one job to another, you are not going to be threatened by losing your health care benefits for you or your children. It says that we ought not have a circumstance where insurance companies insure people as long as they are well and then cancel coverage when they are sick.”
