Pelosi: Lawmakers Should Sacrifice Jobs for Health Care
AP
House Speaker Pelosi says lawmakers aren't in Washington for job security but 'to do the job for the American people.'
Lawmakers sometimes must enact policies that, even if unpopular at
the moment, will help the public, Pelosi said in an interview being
broadcast Sunday the ABC News program "This Week."
"We're not here just to self-perpetuate our service in Congress," she said. "We're here to do the job for the American people."
It took courage for Congress to pass Social Security and Medicare,
which eventually became highly popular, she said, "and many of the same
forces that were at work decades ago are at work again against this
bill."
