Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, it's March. That means March madness. Normally it means hoops and basketball, but, no, in this United States Congress it means more and more false statements made about health care. The other side of the aisle continues in March madness, talking about socialism, comparing our system to England and Canada. Nothing like it at all. What our system proposes is subsidizing people who don't have health care and small businesses to make sure they get health care and can live truly: life, health, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They talk about abortion. It doesn't change the Hyde amendment, which has been on the books forever. They talk about procedure, procedure they used. They talk about creeping socialism. There is nothing about socialism. The fact is this country is the last industrialized country in the world to provide health care for its citizens. It's the right thing to do. We will be proud of this Congress when we pass it. I wish it was bipartisan. ____________________”
