"We have a moral choice. This is a classic case of the good guys versus the bad guys. I know it is not political for me to say that."Dianne Feinstein doesn't seem to care for the criticism she's getting about her lack of support for the public option:
"We can't count on insurance companies. They are just maximizing their profits. They are sticking it to consumers."
"I am all for letting insurance companies compete. But I want them to compete in a system that offers real health-care insurance. I call it a public plan"
Government-backed programs are big enough to bring medical costs down, Rockefeller believes.
"Back in 1993, all our Veterans Administration hospitals got together and agreed to buy prescription drugs as a group. The next week, the costs of those drugs went down by 50 percent.
"Today, the insurance industry runs this whole deal, spending $1.4 million every day to fight health-insurance reform. The government has a lot of power to lower prices,"
"But do you want to be non-partisan and get nothing? Or do you want to be partisan and end up with a good health- care plan? That is the choice."
“I do not think this is helpful. It doesn’t move me one whit,” she said. “They are spending a lot of money on something that is not productive.”
