WHAT'S MORE IMPORTANT, DOLLARS AND CENTS OR LIFE? -- (House of Representatives - July 28, 2009)
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, there are some Republicans and some Blue Dog Democrats who care more about protecting the profits of insurance companies than they do about bringing health care reform to the Nation. Health care premiums have doubled in 9 years and are growing at three times the rate of wages. Meanwhile, 46 million people remain uninsured, and they can't see a doctor to take care of their chronic condition like breast cancer, like diabetes. So what's more important? Dollars and cents or life? I am pro-life, and that's why I support health care reform.
