Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, this week and next, there will be two opportunities for a thoughtful, forward course on health care here in the people's House, and across the street at the highest court of the land. The Supreme Court next week hears out arguments on the limits to Federal control in health care. A ruling is expected later this summer. Perhaps our long national nightmare will be over. And guess what? Half of America, as reported in The Hill today in a poll, thinks the Supreme Court will do just that. This week, Americans will witness the House embarking on a course of their treatment for the health care law. We are going to vote to repeal the unelected and unaccountable panel that's squeezing out patient access. We will insist on medical justice reform to drive down the costs of liability coverage for doctors who make sound treatment decisions. Madam Speaker, the last Congress force-fed the American people a new health care law. Americans are demanding a second opinion. After revelations of unrealistic assumptions and cost overruns, Americans want a change of course, and now this Congress will act. ____________________”
