“What I would say to the majority leader--and I was on the floor the other day reading quotes--when Social Security was first created, we had quotes from Republicans who were talking about the end of life as we know it, slavery coming to America. It is the same thing with Medicare. It is interesting. I would say to the majority leader that despite all of the anti- Affordable Care Act rhetoric we hear--you would think nobody would be interested in getting into the program--the first day out, over 2 million people went to the Federal Government's Web site. I am not quite sure why our Republican friends think that millions of Americans on the first day should not have the right to take advantage of a program that was passed by Congress.”
