"One of my constituents said it so well. They’re so frustrated with this situation, and we’ve heard from so many of them on it. And they said, you know, you can turn on the TV any night and you see government overreach, whether it’s the IRS admitting that they have targeted conservative groups or DOJ wiretapping reporters. And then you get home to Tennessee and, at the local level, what you see is the Corps of Engineers coming in and saying, well, by the way, we’re going to change something, and you’re not going to be able to fish."

"Look, we’ve heard from Big Business, we’ve heard from lobbyists, and we’ve heard from State governments. But there’s somebody absent from this debate so far, and it’s our constituents. I think we need to hear from them. And with that, and to address that issue, I yield to the gentleman from Florida."

"But when broken promises come about, we have to remember—what has disturbed me the most about this whole debate tonight is we’ve heard about businesses; we’ve heard about taxes; we’ve heard about some broken promises; but what we’ve not heard about is health care. We’ve not really heard about health care in a doctor and patient. As a doctor told me the other day, he said, Just let me practice medicine, which is all I want to do."
