But, first a question. How many of you members of Congress do not have affordable health care?
I'm serious. And the nation is curious.
Okay, let's do it this way. Any Senator or Representative who does not have affordable health care, please rise.
No one is standing up.
Now a more important question: How many of you Senators and Representatives will stand up for legislation that will give ALL Americans essentially the same access to health care that you enjoy?
I'm dead serious. Let's admit that you and I and the families of members of Congress can get all the health care we need, while millions of Americans cannot.
Again, please rise if you want everyone to have equal access to quality medical care. Rise if you believe it is wrong to consider some Americans, like us, more equal than others.
Thank you. I invite those of you now standing to sit down.
