Chuck Schumer actually said...

"I am a large defender of our great teaching hospitals in New York."

"I tend to have sympathy for the idea that, because people are not paying themselves... the market system does not work in health care."

"But the bottom line is, we need these unique institutions, because they treat patients that other places have tried and failed to treat, or cannot treat."

"I have always thought free market models do not really work in health care very well."
