Notable Quote:

“All the other candidates’ proposals for so-called universal health care involve keeping insurance companies in the picture and are about subsidizing them by forcing people who can’t afford health care now to buy insurance. . . The president of the united states should not be an insurance salesman.”

-Congressman Dennis Kucinich
Co-Author of HR 676
