Pelosi House Leaders, Committee Chairs Remarks at Press Conference on America's Affordable Health Choices Act
Date:7/17/2009

legislative process, we continue to build more momentum as we go along. Expressing support for America's Affordable Health Choices Act, the leading voice for America's physicians, the American Medical Association, wrote that the legislation includes a broad range of provisions that are key to an effective, comprehensive, health care system. If you don't have that letter, you should see it, because it's an eloquent testimony to the merits of our House bill. And over the coming days, Congress will continue working with President Obama to provide stable prices, secure coverage, and quality care for all Americans.

"I am very pleased that we have the support, not only of the doctors, but as you saw with President Obama the other day, the nurses. And we certainly have the support of the American people.

"With that, I am very pleased to yield to the distinguished Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee with admiration and respect for the excellent work that the Committee is doing and gratitude to him personally for his leadership, Mr. Rangel."

Speaker Pelosi Closing Statement:

"Thank you very much. And 'we will.' I like that. And 'we will' -- that was wonderful. We all associate ourselves with the Leader's remarks and 'we will.'

"We also mention Mr. Dingell who is also in committee as you know -- the Energy and Commerce Committee will be marking up for a few more days. But I think it's important to note that, as some of you know Mr. Dingell said yesterday, that the endorsement for the American Medical Association is not only great for their legislation, it is historic. He said that since the 30s, when the country began a debate on health care, the AMA has never endorsed a health bill. As Mr. Dingell said, the AMA has never endorsed a health care -- a health insurance reform bill, and they have endorsed the House legislation. And as we go forward, as I mention
