On the recordMarch 16, 2010
I want to talk about the need for health care reform in the United States of America and what we need to do here in the Congress to get it done. We have got other issues that we're dealing with simultaneously now with jobs, passing a second jobs bill. But in the next week or so, we have to pass this health care bill. And I know there's been a lot of controversy surrounding this bill. There's been an extended discussion over the course of the last year or so on this issue. We have talked about all of the issues, and now it's time for us to have a vote in the House of Representatives--hopefully here in the next week--and pass this bill so that we can move the country forward and start addressing the other issues with regulatory reform on Wall Street, trying to bring some discipline back to the financial system.
