A direct quote from Iowa Congressman Steve King’s remarks at CPAC.
I had the opportunity to chat with the Congressman after his speech and ask him to further explain this statement:
And after all of these months of debate and negotiations, it comes down to this: if you start out with that tainted stew, there is no part of it that Americans want. We don’t want a pot full, we don’t want a bowl full, we don’t want a spoon full, a cup full, or any kind measure of toxic stew called socialized medicine. We want it dead. Throw it out and start over.
I was impressed with his support for stand alone legislation regarding healthcare – no cornhusker kickback need apply. He also advocated a more careful and measured approach to reforming healthcare by ‘fixing the things that are wrong, let the free market do the rest and find out what the next flaw is.”
The interview lasts about 15 minutes, again I would suggest you turn up the volume when viewing the video. It was a rather busy lobby to shoot video.
PS: Just ignore the bad hair day, okay 🙂
socialized medicine ?? like the VA and medicare and healthcare for government workers and healthcare for police and firemen ?? that kind of socialized medicine must end ? or just the kind of socialized mediicare that we get is OK but none for anyone else
“…let the free market do the rest and find out what the next flaw is.”
