WV Chamber views uninsured as sacrificial lambs for coal industry

It appears that Steve Roberts of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce is echoing an earlier proposal by  Mingo County's embarrassment, Truman Chafin.

Mother Jones reports the chamber wants our state's senators to hold up health care reform until Don Blankenship and pals get everything their way.

The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce is playing dirty with health care reform. It's pressuring its homestate Democratic senators, Robert Byrd and Jay Rockefeller, to block health care legislation unless the Obama administration ends what the Chamber calls a "war on coal."

Bobby Nelson hosted Roberts on his show today. Audio of the debate is available here. It's the final segment of the show- about 15 minutes from the end.
