Political Quotes

“I wish to discuss the cost of health care and what the Senate can do this year to make health care more affordable for America's working families. Last summer I introduced a bill, Ten Steps to Transform Healthcare in America, which if enacted would provide every American with private health insurance. To help spread the word and get some suggestions and comments from the people of Wyoming, I took it on the road and headed throughout our State, making 10 stops to talk about my bill, Ten Steps to Transform Healthcare in America. I designed Ten Steps to be an evolving product, something that could be moved in pieces. I have found that Congress isn't very successful doing things in a revolutionary way. I believe we can have success and accomplish real health care reform in an evolutionary fashion. In just over 3 days we traveled over 1,200 miles, visited 10 towns, and met with hundreds of Wyoming folks. They all had one message for us--they are worried about their health care, and so am I. Of all of the Ten Steps, one in particular created a host of comments and support: Step No. 4, Small Business Health Plans.”
