In the past week it has become clear that the vote on the final healthcare bill will be very close. I take this vote with the utmost seriousness.

Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction, homelessness, a weapon of mass destruction... racism, a weapon of mass destruction, fear, a weapon of mass destruction.

Privatization you have to worry about the value of your account.
