Political Quotes

“I would like to acquaint you and my colleagues with Mr. Butch Matthews, a 61-year-old former small businessman from Little Rock, Arkansas, who used to wake up every morning at 4 a.m. to deliver canned beverages to retailers before retiring in 2010. A lifelong Republican, he was heavily skeptical of the Affordable Care Act when it first passed. ``I did not think ObamaCare was going to be a good plan; I did not think it would help me at all'' is what he said. But after a little research, he has now found out that he can get a better plan than he already had and at the same time save $13,000 a year. When he was asked what would he say to people who are skeptical about the plan, Mr. Matthews says this: ``I would tell them to learn more about it before they start talking bad about it.'' Mr. Speaker, he is still a real strong Republican, but he says: I'm very happy this came along. ____________________”
