Political Quotes

“this amendment is simple, it is direct, and, I believe, the only legislation tonight that is comprehensive on healthcare, that protects Medicaid and Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. It does that by taking cuts to these vital programs off the table in the Senate. So what that means is, if you pass this amendment and the House sends us a budget resolution with severe cuts to healthcare, the Senate will have gone on record as being against the cuts. Let's not jeopardize the health of millions of Americans. Support the amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Idaho.”
