Political Quotes

“Madam President, I applaud the work my senior Senator from Oregon, Ron Wyden, has been doing in seeking affordable, effective health care for all Americans and, in particular, his work to utilize our State laboratories in developing smart health care strategies that then, if successful, can become a model for the Nation. This process of utilizing waivers isn't about a State wanting an exception so that it can be different; it is about recognizing that States have powerful opportunities to form policies that work well under particular circumstances but also may provide insights into our whole national strategy for affordable, quality health care. So for the work Senator Wyden and Senator Scott Brown are doing, I applaud them and support them, and I thank Senator Wyden for his decades of advocacy for affordable health care. ____________________”
