Pelosi: ObamaCare was more important than bipartisanship

Bipartisanship is not more important than a little child who is sick being deprived of coverage because he has a preexisting condition. It’s not more important that woman can stop being – just being a woman is no longer a preexisting medical condition; that if you lose your job, you lose your insurance; that if you want to start a business or be self-employed or change jobs, you’re not job-locked; that the insurance companies don’t have it over your head that they can increase your rates and you’re at their mercy. That’s more important than getting a few Republican votes, although the president tried very hard to do so, and I respect that.
