On the recent health care comments. I got this from my congressman this weekend. Note he is one of those blue dog democrats mentioned frequently on TV.
-----------------------quote---------------- To be clear, I would vote against the bill if it came to a floor vote in its current form. I have serious concerns with the health care bill, specifically the inclusion of a public option and employer and individual mandates for insurance coverage. Additionally, the bill is paid for by increasing taxes on some small businesses and individuals, something that should never be done during a recession. We should be looking for ways to support and help small businesses, not hurt them. The introduction of this health care bill is a first step in a long process and I will continue to follow its progress and continue to look for opportunities to make improvements to the bill. The Senate is currently working on a bipartisan health care solution and I am hopeful that the deliberative process produces a bill that is much better for the American people. The final product must be bipartisan, and it must use a market-based approach to address current problems in our nation’s health care. Regardless of the outcome, I will read the final bill closely and be well-informed on its content before voting on any legislation. -----------------------end quote----------------- Stewart ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
