“I come to the floor today, on the 6- month anniversary of the signing into law of what has commonly across the country come to be called ObamaCare. I come as a physician, someone who has practiced medicine in Wyoming since the early 1980s, taking care of thousands and thousands of patients across the cowboy State-- families. I bring that experience to the Senate floor. I have a doctor's second opinion, now that here we are, 6 months out. It is akin to looking at an x ray after something has happened, going 6 months later and taking a look at the x ray to see what has occurred to the patient. Six months ago when Obama signed his new health care bill into law, he said: ``All of the overheated rhetoric over reform will finally confront the reality of reform.'' Here we are 6 months later. The American people have been confronted with the reality of the President's reform, and they do not like it. The American people who listened to Speaker Pelosi say: First, we must pass the bill before you get to find out what is in it, now have learned more and more what is in it, and they don't like it. The American people watched as this body came together, cobbled together legislation with things such as the ``Cornhusker kickback'' and special treats for different Senators so we would agree to vote for the bill, and the American people don't like it.…”
