Political Quotes

On the recordMay 16, 2013
I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I just want to set the record straight that there is no government takeover in the ACA, which is contrary to what my Republican colleagues are saying. The ACA is built on expanding private sector coverage by improving options in the individual market and by encouraging employers to provide coverage. The claim that the ACA is a government takeover is totally unfounded. A system built on private insurance, private doctors and private hospitals is not a government takeover. I yield now 1 minute to my colleague from California (Mrs. Capps).
