David Obey: “But let me simply say, Madam Chairman, these cuts, these will be cuts…”

On the recordJuly 19, 2007

But let me simply say, Madam Chairman, these cuts, these will be cuts in terms of the services that we are trying to provide to these people. It is immoral. It is unconscionable that we allow 44 million Americans to go without health insurance. This bill will deliver health care coverage to 2 million more Americans than got it last year. It will make up in a tiny way for the indifference, the massive indifference, which has characterized this country the past few years on the issue of health coverage. I would urge a ``no'' vote on the amendment and support for the underlying bill.
