Sherrod Brown said "We need to look at home health care, which can save us money. We need to look at the cost of prescription drugs to bring that cost down. What is it, what is it in the mindset that says, let us unravel the one system that we have that is approaching coverage of most of the population, thereby holding the cost down and not build on it but rather unravel it and go back to where it is helter-skelter, when we ought to be moving in the direction of trying to cover more and more people today who are without insurance and to look at preventative measures. It is, as our colleague from Michigan said, it is a bridge to the past and not the bridge to the future that we need to be making in order to assure affordable good quality health care for everyone in this country." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
