What we resent on this side, and they know the gamesmanship when they had the majority, but the inferences that Republicans do not care about our families is wrong. We do. I would give my life for my family. And I would not give a dime to drug companies if I thought it was going to hurt. Let me give an example. I had pneumonia a couple of years ago; and when I went to the doctor, the price of Augmentin was $110. My wife had prescription drug insurance through the school system where she is a teacher. That drug instead of $110 was $17. That is the free market private system, and we want more and more people to be included in that. Now, I understand if the other side of the aisle wants a government-controlled health care plan like the former First Lady tried to do with health care. That is their prerogative, but we think that is wrong. We do care about our people.
