His remarks can be seen here and below. “Madam President, four years ago members of both parties came to this Senate floor virtually every day to discuss the problems with America’s health care system, and offering suggestions for how we could remedy them. “I remember distinctly being here on Christmas Eve 2009, at seven o’clock in the morning, witnessing a party-line vote on Obamacare. All of our Democratic friends voted for it, all Republicans voted against it. “I guess the most charitable thing I could say is our Democratic friends actually thought it would work while Republicans were skeptics about this big-government takeover of one-sixth of our national economy. “Well, four years later the cost of Obamacare has become abundantly clear. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Obamacare is the biggest case of consumer fraud ever perpetrated in this country.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
