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. ... Now there is an exchange that these people will have some remedy and ability to get health care.
