Political Quotes

“I was going out to dinner the other night, and as I was walking in, one of the young folks who was working there walked up to me and said, Sir, can you tell the new leaders in Congress about my story? The story was that he is a 25-year-old kid who is working at a restaurant and has seizures and could not get any medication, could not get any health care coverage, but because of the law that was passed here last year, this young person now can get the medication, can stay on his parents' health care, and now is a productive member of society. I know my friends on the other side have said things like, well, this employer said their insurance was going up 50 percent. That's been going on for decades now, especially in the last decade. This is going to fix that. I know my namesake from Wisconsin also said there are some employers who are going to have to let their people go into the exchange because their competition is going to let people go into the exchange. The bottom line is people were dumping workers for a decade and there wasn't an exchange. Now there is an exchange that these people will have some remedy and ability to get health care.”
