Political Quotes

“I really want to echo and emphasize what he is talking about, and that is that healthcare absolutely needs to be reformed. And as the Senator from South Carolina said, that is exactly what the President has said. We have got to reform healthcare because medical inflation is going up like a rocket, and it is not going to change until we reform this healthcare system. And it starts with making sure that support goes to people so they have more control over their own healthcare. That is just common sense. And so I agree with my colleague from South Carolina and certainly with the President's comment that that is the kind of reform that needs to be done, but it needs to be done when the government is open. The American people are suffering. We need to get back to work on all these issues, and that happens when they join us and vote to open up the government.”
