Speech By: Steve King

3:36:21 to 3:36:42( Edit History Discussion )

Steve King: the chart that scared the american people and mobilized them to ring the phones off the hook then and to run ads and raise the resistance because they did not want to have a government-run plan that t away their freedom. that's hillary care. this is obamacare. if you hated hillary care, you

3:36:43 to 3:37:03( Edit History Discussion )

Steve King: can't like obamacare. this flow chart, this one, the black and white hillary care flow chart, was devastating to a national health care agenda. can i say, a government-run health care program? can i say that about the old one i wonder? i wonder if this one was mailed off by frank mail. i wonder if the people in charge

3:37:04 to 3:37:24( Edit History Discussion )

Steve King: then in there wasn't freedom of speech on the part of members of congress. i will bet that this chart went into all kinds of envelopes and got spread all the way across america and people opened it up and stuck it on the magnetsn the refrigerator and thought what are they doing in washington, d.c.? we didn't send them to grow a big government program.

3:37:25 to 3:37:45( Edit History Discussion )

Steve King: and they rejected it. that was the end of the momentum of the clinton presidency then when hillary care went down. and now we have obamacare and the censoring of this. first ever all i want to make this point that i don't need -- show this chart and send it to my constituents. they already know what we are going into.

3:37:46 to 3:38:07( Edit History Discussion )

Steve King: they know that my vote on this and my effort on this thing is pretty well settled. i have said for years that i'm going to oppose any national health care plan. no amount of logic is going to change the minds of the people over on this side of the aisle. they have come to a political conclusion, a conclusion that they are going to ban together

3:38:08 to 3:38:28( Edit History Discussion )

Steve King: and they are going to pass something that president obama will sign and he'll sign most anything as long ast says that it's got the public health plan in it, if it happens the public health plan in it, it will starve out the private and we will have what all of them -- almost all of them have said from the beginning, they want a single payer plan, a government plan. they don't believe in private

3:38:29 to 3:38:49( Edit History Discussion )

Steve King: health insurance. they don't believe in the best health care system of the world. they d believe in censoring, but the american people cannot be be censored. we have internet. we have twitter. we have -- this kind of a chart can be forwarded all over this country. by tomorrow morning it could be in every computer if the american people just decided they wanted to make sure you

3:38:50 to 3:39:01( Edit History Discussion )

Steve King: could see it. you can't understand this health care program if you read the print. if you look at this chart on your screen, you will pick up the phone and the american people wille scared enough, i
