George W. Bush: “For that reason, I will veto the bill passed today.”

Is it in our interest that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is. On behalf of a grateful nation, thank you for your hard work and God bless you.

Government does have a role to play in health care, but a robust private market is critical to ensuring that health care is affordable and accessible for all Americans.

Today, we remember your loss, we share your sorrow and we honor the men and women that you have loved so long and so well.

Congratulations on becoming our President.
