Political Quotes

“I rise today to support the HEALTH Act of 2003, because I know what runaway health costs and a broken health care system look like. In Tennessee we are battling to fix our own system, a statewide, nearly-universal health care service run by the government called Tenncare. H.R. 5 means doctors in your neighborhood, not 50, 100, or 500 miles away in a metropolitan area. H.R. 5 means lower insurance premiums for working families and for small businesses. This bill will not take away anyone's right to compensation. What it will do is prevent our community doctors, our community doctors from being targeted by profiteering lawyers. I encourage all of my colleagues to join in supporting the HEALTH Act of 2003.”
