Political Quotes

“my amendment protects families and protects small businesses from dramatic increases in insurance premiums. My amendment directs the Department of Health and Human Services to certify that insurance premiums will not rise faster under the new health care law than they would have if the law had not been passed. If they find that premiums are higher, then the new law would sunset. This month in Pennsylvania, the President said the Senate bill would reduce most people's premiums. I say to my friends on the other side of the aisle, if you believe the President and you believe that this bill lowers premiums, prove it. Vote for this amendment. This is a reasonable, straightforward amendment. It holds the President and it holds the Members of Congress accountable to the American people for promises made. Thank you, Mr. President.”
