We do need to talk about that hearing in Las Vegas. There is not anyone who could watch that and listen to that and not shed a tear. I want to take off on something my friend from North Dakota said. During that hearing--those sick people and the mother who lost her son--there was not a question about whether or not they were Democrat or Republican. There was not a single word about that. Democrats get sick, and Republicans get sick. That is why I underscore what the Senator from North Dakota has stated today: That we need to come up with a plan that will work. We know the private insurance plan will not work. We do not have to have politicians tell us. The people the majority is trying to help tell us it will not work.
