“We are in a long-term debate, I guess, on campaign finance reform. We call it 'death by amendment,' because the seriousness of the campaign reform issue is so important, and yet our colleagues on the Republican side are the ones that have 300 amendments they want to bring up and they are really delaying it.

They are too busy attacking working people and not really talking about campaign finance reform. But I want to talk about managed care and how important it is to the people that we represent.”
