Pelosi Longs For Socialized Health Care: “I Wanted Single-Payer, I Wanted A Public Option”
REP. NANCY PELOSI (D-CA): I take issue — I see these little things in the paper about this or that. But our members — the story that you don’t write or see, maybe because you’re in Washington and our members are out in their districts. And as I travel, I see our members standing tall. As I said to you before, we’re not running on this; we’re running on what the American people want us to run on and that is job creation. Show us the jobs. Where are the jobs?
Why are we not here passing a jobs agenda incident 51 times having political nonsense on the floor of the House? But I’m very proud of our members. Yeah, any bill that is passed is no perfect. I wanted single-payer, I wanted a public option.
You know, I have some changes I would make myself. But as the implementation takes place, as we see improvements that can be made to any compromise, which the bill was, we will do that. But just because people say I don’t want to repeal it but I do want to fix it doesn’t mean they are walking away from it.
Wild Thing’s comment………….
And who is telling her off, who is speaking up for America instead of staying silent. I wish we would see Republican politicians telling her off and then explain why she is wrong and how socialism never works.
Never doubted for a moment she was a socialist.
It amazes me how the Democrats reward failure. She failed as Speaker of the House and Democrats reward her for failed leadership by making her the House Minority Leader. No wonder this country goes under when Democrats control congress and the White House.
