Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 28, 2014
When we needed bipartisan action to lower costs and improve health care, Congress passed the Affordable Care Act on a party-line vote. Given the growing number of failures that have been revealed since the law's implementation began, it is time for Congress to work together to address the unworkable provisions for the good of the American people. Fortunately, opposition to the ACA's flawed policy is moving beyond party labels. Last year, the Democratic-led Senate voted 79-20 to repeal the law's medical device tax. Since then, more and more Members of Congress recognize there are bigger problems. Earlier in January, despite the Obama administration's vocal opposition to the efforts to boost consumer protections under the law, a veto-proof majority of Republicans and Democrats in the House voted to pass H.R. 3811, which would help secure personal information on the online exchanges. Madam Speaker, the American people deserve bipartisan solutions. ____________________
