Political Quotes

“my friend, the Republican leader, continues to complain about ObamaCare. This has been the mantra of the Republicans since it passed. But the true facts are these: ObamaCare has reduced the number of uninsured to the lowest rate since we have been keeping records in America. The uninsured are going down, not up. People are healthier now as a result of being able to go to the doctor or the hospital when they are hurt or sick. Now, we talk about ObamaCare in a vacuum. What was going on before Obamacare? Insurance companies ravaged the American people. The people who were fortunate enough to have health care had to be aware that at any given time they could have their insurance canceled. If you were disabled, there was no insurance. But that isn't all. If you had a prior malady of some kind--if you had cancer, if you had diabetes--you couldn't get insurance--but not anymore. Under ObamaCare you cannot be denied insurance for any condition. They used to charge women more than men--for no reason, except that some statistical analysis had taken place in some dark room by a guy with green eyeshades who determined that maybe, statistically, women cost a little more than men. They can't do that anymore. I am always so stunned by this mantra: ``We have to replace it.'' With what? It has been 7 years. With what? The Republicans have come up with nothing. So, in short, is ObamaCare perfect? Of course not. Could we improve it? Yes, we could.…”
