WASHINGTON (AP) -- One of the principal authors of health care legislation taking shape in the House accused drug companies and other medical providers Wednesday of stealing, and said they are now offering concessions in the hopes the bill that emerges will not demand too much of them.

"Everyone knows that people around the table are stealing, but they don't want to turn each other in if they're going to have to pay the full penalty," said Rep. Charles Rangel, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.

Asked in an interview on MSNBC what he meant by stealing, the New York Democrat replied, "I mean stealing."

This comming from Rep Rangel..."Takes one to know one". Thief that is.
This is a classic "pot calling the kettle".

Rangel is one of the biggest most dishonest members of the House and holds the chair of the HWMC...Someone smell a rat?

This guy should resign his chair and shut up!

This is really funny coming from Rangel, the dishonest. Rangel and his comrades (Pelosi/Reid/Frank/all the rest) are stealing from the American taxpayers every time they pass a bill that we have told them not to.
