Political Quotes

“Here we are again, late at night, debating last-minute legislation to fix problems the current majority created. When considered alongside the ongoing COVID pandemic, widespread workforce concerns, and the cloud of uncertainty created by unnecessary vaccine mandates, it is clear the combined effects of upcoming Medicare reimbursement cuts represent a critical threat to our healthcare system. While I commend the efforts that have been made over the last few days to draft solutions which address the concerns of our healthcare providers, instead of coming together to pass a bipartisan compromise, we again find the majority attaching controversial, unrelated material to this bill. Tonight, the majority has chosen to jeopardize urgent relief for healthcare providers with political gimmicks relating to the debt ceiling and paygo issues we saw coming from miles away. I am disappointed to see yet another erosion of the rules and precedents of Congress. I urge all members to oppose this bill.”
