I voted for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, not because I thought it was the best we could do, but because I thought it was a whole lot better than the current system.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Listen, I, I did vote - I did cast a vote for health care, and I also said that I thought the process was horrible. The status quo before we passed health care was also horrible.
We were elected in a wave because the people in America, if they had a single issue that troubled them the most, it was that health care vote.
We could have done a better job explaining what was in the Affordable Care Act, but when you talk to people and you don't label it, people get really excited about what's in it. It is going to make a big difference for people.
I'm committed to voting to repeal Obamacare or defending it as much as possible.
I always worked very hard against the unconstitutional individual mandate in health care. I didn't praise it.
I support health care reform in this country, but the current bills we have before us are too big, too costly, and the people who send me to Washington to be their voice are opposed to them and this process.
You think that somehow they didn't come after me to get rid of me because my vote is the deciding vote in the health care bill? Then, ladies and gentlemen, you live today in a world that is so innocent as to not understand what's going on in Washington, D.C.
When I ran for Congress I promised to help make health care affordable again.
I've supported the repeal of ObamaCare.
I voted to repeal the individual mandate in Obamacare... I think people appreciate the fact that they know where you stand.
