Congressman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., has become a YouTube sensation for his passionate opening statement during a hearing about health care reform. The video has drawn more than 2.3 million views on YouTube.
The video shows Rogers expressing intense opposition to Obama's plan, saying that it will take away benefits and punish the 85 percent of Americans with health insurance just to help the 15 percent who don't.
He goes on to quote Abraham Lincoln's famous line: "You can't make a weak man strong by making a strong man weak."
Rogers then quotes statistics from the National Cancer Institute, the National Cancer Intelligence Centre in the United Kingdom and the Canadian Cancer Registry to argue that cancer survival rates are better under the U.S. system.
