“It has been interesting to hear all the rhetoric about Republican efforts that a majority of Americans have wanted us to take. Going back to even before ObamaCare was passed, the majority of Americans didn't want ObamaCare passed. I have been amazed at some of the rhetoric from across the aisle, I think from the former Speaker, who said something about how open their process was. Really? Anyway, I know sometimes our memories aren't what they once were. That was not a terribly open process. I believe the Speaker back then said: We don't need any Republican vote and we don't want your input. Basically those were the words I recall. People were promised over and over again by the President of the United States that if you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance. On at least one occasion he even said the word ``period,'' there are no exceptions. If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance. So it was quite disappointing. Some of us knew this was a disastrous bill. I did read it. I didn't have to wait until Speaker Pelosi passed it to find out what was in it. I read it and I knew it was going to be a disaster. Then, after it passed, we ultimately find out that they knew well in advance that if you liked your insurance, there was a very good chance you would not be able to keep your insurance, period. It wasn't true. All those, including the President, went around saying: If you like your insurance, you can keep it.…”
