Tim Scott: “It's odd that as the American people continue to watch Congress asking for a bipartisan approach to what we do here…”

On the recordOctober 26, 2011
It's odd that as the American people continue to watch Congress asking for a bipartisan approach to what we do here, it's very odd for us to find ourselves in that position today saying to the American people, we are finally on the right page of a bipartisan approach. And as it relates to the whole undermining of the health care act, the President himself has released a statement, an administration policy statement, that simply says that he supports H.R. 2576. The fact of the matter is if we are going to find ways to save Medicaid and keep it available for the next generation, we must do things in a bipartisan approach that actually solve the problems without increasing the system necessarily. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentlelady from Tennessee, Mrs. Diane Black.
