The lack of health care coverage has remained very important to me during my time in Congress and as a member of the House Subcommittee on Health I am working hard with my colleagues to correct these inequalities.

As I go to sleep I remember what my father said-that one can never be sure if one will awake. The way my health is now this is becoming more and more real.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it read it thoroughly and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses. And it must be opposed.

All the evidence shows very clearly that if you are a member of a trade union you are likely to get better pay more equal pay better health and safety more chance to get training more chance to have conditions of work that help if you have caring responsibilities... the list goes on!

Some of you read with me 40 years ago a portion of Aristotle's Ethics a selection of passages that describe his idea of happiness. You may not remember too well.

I always remembered that when I saw people get married they got on a rocketship and went to Planet Happiness Population: Them.

Experienced happiness refers to your feelings to how happy you are as you live your life. In contrast the satisfaction of the remembering self refers to your feelings when you think about your life.

I don't really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people.

It was physically difficult adjusting to wheelchair life but I remember a great relief and happiness that I was finally getting somewhere finding musicians to work with that were sympathetic.

Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.
