Political Quotes

“If this legislation were to be signed into law, it would drive up the number of uninsured Americans in every single State in this country. For example, if this legislation was signed into law, the uninsured rate in my State of Vermont would go from 3.3 percent to 6 percent. In Louisiana, the uninsured rate would go from 6.7 percent to 12.4 percent. In the State of Washington, the uninsured rate would go up from 6.2 to 11 percent. In Florida, the uninsured rate would go up from 10.4 percent to 18.8 percent, almost 19 percent of people in Florida will be uninsured if this bill goes through. And this is true for every State in the country--in many cases, almost doubling the number of uninsured. Let me just quote for you what healthcare providers and State organizations around the country are saying as to the horrific impact that this legislation would have.”
