Joe Manchin actually said...

"We're down to the point now if you go to the hospital... if they say, 'Listen, I'm recovering, I'm proud of it...'"

"this is a scourge that we have."

"No, there's not a person up here, Democrat or Republican, that doesn't want to help people that are in severe pain, end-of-life pain, chronic illnesses, cancer. We're all fighting for that."

"this is truly a bipartisan problem. So this is not a Democrat/Republican problem that we have here, and it's a killer."
