Susan Molinari: “I would like to congratulate all 8 Members of Congress who debated…”

On the recordMarch 17, 1994

I would like to congratulate all 8 Members of Congress who debated health care last night. They did a great job, and they are a credit to our institution. One person, however, excelled in her argument and displayed a true understanding of the dangerous implications of the President's health care bill. How ironic that Representative Nancy Johnson should have been demeaned by the Democratic gentleman from northern California, who stated earlier that day that she gained her medical expertise through pillow talk because she is married to a doctor. What, in fact, was Mr. Stark trying to imply, relegating a Congresswoman's information source to pillow talk? Mr. Speaker, I do not know; maybe Mr. Stark needs to get a little more sleep.
