On the recordMarch 24, 2010
I rise today to talk about this historic accomplishment of health care reform. I congratulate all of my colleagues for their hard work and dedication. I congratulate the President. He, too, was like a rock. He never budged. The day after the Massachusetts election, when so many others were saying we can't get this done and to trim back, he was steadfast. I saw him and his steadfastness. His internal gyroscope got us over the goal line. I wish to address where the future is in this bill in terms of average Americans. We all know the American people are still trying to digest the health care legislation we have just passed. That is understandable. It is a large and complex piece of legislation and, of course, there has been a tremendous amount of misinformation out there about what it does and what it does not do.
