Stopping Health Care Bill has no Moral High Ground

Re: Senate Health Care Battlefield Found In Massachusetts Race To Replace Kennedy, GLEN JOHNSON and LIZ SIDOTI | 01/12/10 10:21 AM |

BOSTON — The race to succeed the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has turned into a proxy battle over the fate of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.

A once-pedestrian contest between Democrat Martha Coakley and Republican Scott Brown has coarsened with a week to go, as the two have cast themselves as custodians of the pivotal Senate vote to determine the bill’s fate.

“As the 41st senator, I can stop it,” Brown said last week during a debate, highlighting his potential to be the breakthrough Senate vote that upholds a GOP filibuster. While he opposes the bill, the state senator voted in 2006 in favor of a Massachusetts universal health care bill that has largely been the model for the Obama legislation.

The party of NO. The party of increased insurance control over your health care.

Brown says “I can stop it”. Go ahead. Stop it. Let the insurance companies continue to abuse sick consumers. Brown wishes for congratulations for stopping health care reform.

The insurance company won’t pay the bills. Congratulations Brown. Work-a-day folks cheer for Brown. Everything is fine until they have to file a claim on their insurance. Then it all starts. The phone calls and visits to the insurance offices to fight for another penny from them.

The Republicans are morally wrong on this issue.
