Now, it bugs me to no end to continue to hear, as I did--and I heard a friend from across the aisle say in just a ridiculous misrepresentation that the Republicans--again, they don't have any plans. They don't want any changes. That is absolutely ridiculous. In our Republican Study Committee--the more conservative of the Republican Members of Congress is generally the way it's touted. There are Republicans that aren't conservative that aren't part of the RSC. But we have just a summary of 70 bills to help reform health care, not to give more control to the insurance companies, not to give more control to government, but to help reform health care so that it's patient controlled, and it's affordable, accessible, all of these things. These are real bills. They have numbers on them.

This is the bill, 728 pages, that we got from the Senate this week. Has anybody read it? Come on. That is over a billion dollars average per page. That ain't gold; that is fool's gold. Look, more IRS agents, as Art Laffer said years ago…

We had a bill we took up the last vote of the day before we are out for October, and it was strange because this bill got rushed to the floor. I can't find anybody on our side of the aisle who had any idea this was coming until yesterday…
