Political Quotes

“the vicious, vindictive veto looms over the American people once again, this time threatening the lives and health of 8 million Americans who right at this moment, because of their health problems, have medical devices in their bodies, heart valves, pacemakers, brain shunts, a whole host of things, knee replacements, hip replacements. But the availability of these medical devices is threatened by the veto that the President has threatened to issue because of some quarrel that he has with other elements of the Trial Lawyers Association, et cetera. Now, the suppliers of these medical devices, elements of the medical devices, are going out of business, in many respects because they are being sued out of their existence. What we have tried to do with the measure that is about to be vetoed is to make sure that the suppliers will feel comfortable in sending these supplies for the medical devices to be made available to the American people.”
