Eric Cantor said "Again, I think that the Secretary of Defense and any other agency that negotiates on behalf of its agencies, its employees, has a mission. But we are talking about negotiating on behalf of the public and people out there that have different needs. We are a market-based country. We are a country where people have the option to choose for themselves. We are not living in a country where I think, one would think, the government can decide which medicine, which prescription drugs you ought to have and which you ought not to have." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
