Kucinich: Obama's Plan Makes "Unacceptable" Senate Bill Even Worse
"It's a much better bill for insurance company investors than it is for the American people."
February 24, 2010 3:50 PM
As noted yesterday,
Pelosi's original coalition of 220 members of Congress who voted for
the health care bill in November is now down to about 200 to 205. Minority Whip Eric Cantor
puts the number in about the same range. So Obamacare's only chance is
if Nancy Pelosi can flip 12 to 20 of the 39 Democrats who voted no in
November to vote yes now.
It looks like Pelosi doesn't just have to be
worried about moderate Blue Dogs' continued opposition. One of the most
liberal Democrats, Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, remains opposed to the
bill. Here's a statement by Kucinich on Obama's health plan emailed by
his press secretary to THE WEEKLY STANDARD:
"The new proposal starts with a wholly
unacceptable Senate health care bill and, with a few exceptions,
continues to make it worse. It's a much better bill for insurance
company investors than it is for the American people. We need reform
that has already proven to increase quality and covers everyone while
controlling cost; single payer."
