Political Quotes

“everyone knows that the first thing a doctor is taught, is to do no harm.

Why are we even discussing employer mandates, when the Republican plans--like the Michel-Lott plan--require all employers to offer, but not pay for, at least one standard plan to their employees and dependents? And last, why are we worrying about people's insurance being canceled, when Republican plans solve that problem by not allowing anyone to be denied health care insurance because of a preexisting condition or change in employment?
