republicans who are concerned about the deficit like democrats and independents should get behind this bill. so it will be this. is this the election year issue or is it jobs? it is a big part of it. jobs are a big part of it. there is a larger thing do, washington, and discrust trust government? a majority of us said we were opposed to this, we really don t like this. when the costs start coming in and they count the doctor fix which will put this in deficit, they will see more cost to the government and higher taxes to the democrat. bad policy. let me quote janet jackson. what have you done for me lately? nothing on jobs, nothing on health care. the american people like to vote for something, not just against something. they will have the chance. the democrats will rule on this and probably get it and then
their premiums will continue to rise. $10,000 over the next 15 years. this is good policy, good politics, good for the american people, good for the economy. there is no reason for democrats to run away from this. you don t think democrats are going to lose seats this november because of the health care bill. democrats will lose seats. republicans will lose seats, simply because there are open sites that will no longer go into the democratic column. not because of health care? health care. some democrats might lose because the voters are tied to that democrats and may be tied to republicans too. i don t think we should judge this bill based on who will win and who will lose if we are doing what s right for the american people and taxpayers. this is a good approach to trying to solve a long-standing problem in this country. that s how the president sold it. don t do this on politics. do it because it is the right thing to do. courage is the secret to democracy. do the courag
somehow another defend 39% increase in health care costs, children getting kicked off their policies because they have asthma, let them go out. democrats will defend the substance of this and let the politics play out if you don t in november. obamacare and doing nothing are not the only options. lots of other plans and ideas are never allowed scoring by cbo. we may revisit it in the future. is health care the election issue? it is the economy and the jobs, people feeling secure about their livlyhood. this is a plan that will cover 32 million additional americans and reduce deficit. $1.2 trillion. this is good policy.
parties of borrowing and bailouts and takeovers. i believe this is going to be a historic weekend i think it is going to be different from the way john thinks it is going to be. i think this weekend is going to be the beginning of the end of business as usual in washington, d.c. i think the american people see an administration and a congress that are in a head-long rush to confront the very real challenges that we have in health care with more government instead of more freedom. republicans have been offering solutions from the beginning. let people purchase health insurance across state lines, cover pre-existing conditions, all of that can be done without a massive, trillion dollar expansion of the federal government and burdening future generations with more deficits. the reality of this day is that you don t have the votes to stop it. you may have the means to delay it. right. the republicans, it shouldn t be a news flash, republicans don t have the votes to stop anything
can t we get that money out of there? we do such a great job here in washington ringing out the cost. $1.6 trillion deficit this yea . only in washington wag can you say with a straight face you are going to spend $1 trillion and save taxpayers money. democrats are leaving out $200 billion in spend thath speaker of the house committed to spend, which makes this, using this cbos numbers, it makes it a bill that adds to the deficit in the sho short term and long term. you expand the federal government s role in health care without giving the american people more health care choices by purchasing across state lines, without passing any medical malpractice reform, ruffle one-third of health care are defensive medicine driven by junk lawsuits. the american people know this is going to cost more and add more
