Exposing the hypocrisy of Republicans deciding your health care
Posted on | October 6, 2009 | 1 Comment
Remember John Ensign? Let me refresh your memory: He is the Republican Senator of Nevada who was recently humiliated for his extramarital affairs and therefore had to abdicate his position as Chairman of Republican Policy Committee, the fourth highest spot in Republican Party leadership. Blows my mind how people that run on moral values, family first, love the Lord, etc. are so often caught in extracurricular activities.
Anyway, now that you remember who he is, you should know that he is also on the Senate Finance Subcommittee for Health Care, which means he is part of the pack that decides whether you get affordable health care (previous blog article on this issue). Of course, he voted no on the first two proposals. Surprised? Gasp!
Here is a quote I pulled from NYtimes.com: “Does anybody believe Congress would let this public plan go away once it has a constituency? No way. Once it’s started, you will never get rid of it. Congress will subsidize it more and more, allow it to grow and grow.”
Apparently, he gets a lot of contributions from insurance companies. Health Care for America Now! has pulled together an ad they are playing in Nevada, which exposes Ensign’s hypocrisy. Don’t let him steal your and my affordable health care. Please?

Bill Moyers explains exactly why it is that even though 60% of the American people want public option, they are not going to get one. Watch the video. Please… [...]
