George Butterfield actually said...

"Every day I hear from constituents about increasing access to health care, not decreasing it."

"My constituents... overwhelmingly support our new Governor in North Carolina who is doing all that he can to expand Medicaid."

"This appears to be another hearing to discuss Republican plans to change the healthcare system and reduce people's access to care and to make health care more expensive."

"Democrats will not stand idly by while we are forced to consider proposals that will restrict access to health care."
