Rockefeller: Insurance industry running some Senators

I like this version of Sen. Jay Rockefeller. From Huffington Post:

Reacting to an amendment proposed by Sen. Jon Cornyn (R-Texas) during the Senate Finance Committee's markup of health care reform legislation on Thursday, committee member Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) called his colleague a pawn of the health insurance industry.

"This is a very, very important amendment and it's a very, very bad amendment," said Rockefeller. "If there's anything which is clear, it's that the insurance industry is not running this markup, but is running certain people in this markup."

I've always been a big fan of Sherrod Brown, first as a Rep., now as a Sen.

Here's yet another reason... Sherrod Brown: Rahm's 'Wrong' On Public Option Chances In Senate.

It's an equation that works: no Dem. is saying they will filibuster a bill with a public option and at least 50+1 will vote for a bill with the public option.

The house has passed a bill with a public option.

The President will sign a bill with a public option.

Will we all get pony rides for Christmas?


I have watched all three days so far (0.00 / 0)
and that moment with Cornyn was fun.
