Political Quotes

“Imagine you have a medical emergency, you show up at the emergency department of your hospital, and you are treated in the waiting room. That is exactly what is happening in hospitals all over America. Overcrowding has become a reality. A recent report by the American College of Emergency Medicine showed that more than half of all ER doctors have reported this trend. It is ironic that the main pillar of the Affordable Care Act, which was an increase in patients' access to care, is exactly the opposite of what is happening. We are having a hearing on Thursday in the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health. I am looking forward to it. We will discuss the impact of the President's health care law on access to health care. It is my sincere hope that the administration is cooperative and forthcoming as we investigate yet another aspect of the Affordable Care Act that instead of helping is hurting patients, doctors, and hospitals and putting a strain on our system. ____________________”
