John Boehner said "the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Tauzin) mentioned that we would go back to the original liability that would drive employers out of the system, drive up costs for employers and their employees. We do not want to do that. It would also eliminate the association health plans that we have worked so hard on over the last 10 years to try to help small employers provide health insurance for their employees. But of all things, after 40 years of one party controlling this House and balancing the budget one time in 40 years, to stand in the well of the House and say that this bill will bust the budget, please, give me a break." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
