Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 2, 1994
many want us to believe that Government-run health care is good for families. However, the only ones who will benefit from such a system are Government bureaucrats. Families lose because they will no longer be able to choose what doctor to see and when. Families lose because they will not be able to use another health insurance policy or doctor if these are not one of the Government's options. Families lose because the Government will limit the kinds of treatment and medicine they can seek. The problems with America's health care system shouldn't be fixed by putting Government bureaucrats between families and their doctors. Government-run health care may be good for bureaucrats, but it's bad for America's families.
