“…People have been to see me about how to do what we’ve done in their states. I tell them, unless you can get the governor involved, don’t even start. It will be a waste of your time.” — PolitiTweet.org

Perot said to me, “It has been the meanest, bloodiest, and most difficult thing I’ve ever been into. I’ve spent one hundred percent of my time on it in Texas for a year. My job is done. I don’t think the people in Austin want to see me again for a while.” — PolitiTweet.org

He was straight to the point, easy to talk to, and listened well. I was there so we could compare the Texas and Tennessee school reform movements, both of which had just worked their way through tumultuous legislative sessions. — PolitiTweet.org

In September, 1984, I flew to Dallas to visit H. Ross Perot at his billion dollar computer company, Electric Data Services. We began our twenty-five-minute meeting at 9:45. His eyes were bright. His nose reminds me of mine, which caught a softball one time. — PolitiTweet.org

You can’t lower your health care costs until you know what your health care actually costs. The U.S. Senate took an important bipartisan step to reduce the cost of health care that you pay for out of your own pocket. #LowerHeathCareCosts https://t.co/48bHsaWX0u — PolitiTweet.org

The #LowerHealthCareCosts Act of 2019 will reduce what Americans pay out of their own pockets for health care in three major ways: 1. End surprise medical billing 2. More transparency 3. More competition for generic drugs and for biosimilar drugs https://t.co/eKhpECtEzj — PolitiTweet.org
