We can demonize this, but, you know, really what it boiled down to is a Representative in Florida who represents a lot of seniors.
I do take issue with some of the comments made as far as this being a political witch hunt.
I appreciate all the hard work that you both have done, and Ambassador Kirk included, and the President, on the Korean agreement.
I look forward to working with you and Mr. Langevin in making sure that our wounded veterans returning home are rehabilitated, are counseled, and receive the medical care and encouragement they need to lead a fruitful life.
You believe that the current bill allows people to keep their health care plan and their doctor.
The language in the bill over years will result in the American people having to leave their doctors that they like and leave their health care plans.
If you like your health care plan you can keep it, and specifically for seniors.

Senator Patty Murray has been an outstanding partner in this bipartisan conservation effort.
The people of Washington State understand how this bipartisanship works for their lasting benefit.
I am concerned that if we move to a public health plan, a government-run health plan, I should say, that we may lose some of those innovative ideas.
Do you believe that people should be able to keep their current insurance policy that they have, if they choose to keep that insurance policy as a part of a reform, yes or no?
Do you believe that a key principle for health reform is that people shouldn't lose what they already have?
I think most American people look at IRS and Social Security, and it is a long history of problem after problem after problem.
