Saying ‘no’ to very bad legislation is not wrong. In fact, when the American people tell you that they don’t want the health care bill, you’ve got a responsibility to say no.
There’s a big difference between France and the U.S. In the U.S., immigrants must work to live. In France, they’re taken care of by public finances.

Simply expanding Medicaid does not improve health care outcomes. In Louisiana, instead we’re helping people getting better paying jobs so they can provide for their own health care.

Effective health care depends on self-care; this fact is currently heralded as if it were a discovery.

Today there are people trying to take away rights that our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers fought for: our right to vote, our right to choose, affordable quality education, equal pay, access to health care. We the people can’t let that happen.
By fostering competition, leveling the playing field, and increasing transparency, we can bring America’s health care sector into the 21st century.

One can only presume, despite unequivocal polling to the contrary, that Republicans believe relentlessly attacking womens’ abilities to make their own health care decisions is popular and will help them win elections. I believe it is at their peril that they pursue this anti-women agenda.
We are a system where I can tell you that nobody is doing more for behavioral health care in this country than the VA.
