Health Care

Floor Speech

Mr. MURPHY of Connecticut. Mr. Speaker, we are entering the final stages of crafting a health care bill that gives the American people what they want--more choice in health care options, lower cost for families and small businesses, and insurance that's fair to American families once again.

We've worked long days and nights here in Washington to craft a bill that addresses the challenges that people in Connecticut and across this country face. And the American people have been able to read our bills and monitor the debate on television and on the Internet and be able to interact with us when we come back home. Meanwhile, where have our Republican colleagues been? Sitting on the sidelines, talking about solutions, but sharing nothing with the public. And they have kept us waiting for the last 133 days without a bill.

Well, it's time for Republicans to get in the game because health care struggles of the American people aren't getting any easier, and they can't afford to wait.
