On the recordNovember 13, 2013
Many of my Republican colleagues are still obsessed with ending health care for the American citizen. I come here today to tell you the administration, experts, and my colleagues in Congress are working on making sure that all Americans have insurance. I say to you while they talk about ``glitch, glitch, glitches,'' yes, we are all disappointed with that. When they talk about the face of the stories, let me tell you that last week during our week at home, I held a tele-townhall conference, and many of my constituents called in and asked questions about the Affordable Care Act. Do you know why? Because they had a college student who can stay on their insurance. Do you know why? Because there were women who had pre-existing conditions now that can be covered. Do you know why? They were seniors. They were mothers. They were parents. That is what the Affordable Care Act is about. So I say to you to listen closely, America, because the Affordable Care Act will make a difference, and that is what we should have in this wonderful America that we live in. ____________________
