Party at the white house and we wanted to have a win for the president. and that doesn't cut it. there are 65,000 people in congress faso's district who are going to lose insurance under this bill there are 400,000 people in that district and in mine who are getting insurance through their employers, and now because of a totally unspoken about provision in this bill, employers can forum shop any state that gets a waiver and use the lower standards of that state with their employees, even in a state like new york. so the 400,000 people in most congressional districts who get emoyer-bas insuranc...

But it's a serious issue. and my goodness, these guys have got to stand up and defend this vote. if you notice, a lot of them won't want to. they're saying things like, oh, the senate will fix it. or we're just having a beer party at the white house and we wanted to have a win for the president. and that doesn't cut it. there are 65,000 people in congressman faso's district who are going to lose insurance under this bill there are 400,000 people in that district and in mine who are getting insurance through their employers, and now because of a totally unspoken about provision in this bill, em...
