Here are democrat and john cornen on the proposal. Senator from minnesota. Mr. President i rise today to join my colleagues to speak out to ask for a normal process here for hearings, for debates. You and i have talked about this issue. I know you have in many good ideas. I am hopeful we can start over here with a bill that would consist of a number of changes to our existing health care system.
