Political Quotes

“I yield myself 1 minute. Since the gentleman wasn't here in the spring of 2010 when the Affordable Care Act passed, he probably didn't hear the utterance of the then-Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, who famously, from that chair, stood up and said, ``We've got to pass this law to find out what's in it.'' Here we are a little over 3 years later, and we're still finding out what's in it. Yes, the law is the law--the law has passed; the law is signed--but what has happened since that time is this torrent of regulations that has come out of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of the Treasury, the Office of Personnel Management--all of those Federal agencies charged with implementing this failed product. Now, we can argue all we want about settled law being settled law, but rulemaking is going on even as we speak. New rules are coming out. New rules are being promulgated. Look at the Essential Health Benefit Rule. Why did the administration hide the ball on that one until 2 days after election day? Because they were afraid of what the public's response would be when they saw what that rule actually said. It turns out that most of the Nation's Governors said, We don't want any part of this. I reserve the balance of my time.”
