Health Care for America Now and AFSCME have some new ads on the air, going after the GOP leadership and Senator Richard Burr (R-NC), Representative John Boehner (OH-08), Representative Dave Camp (MI-04), Representative Mark Kirk (IL-10), Representative Thaddeus McCotter (MI-11), Representative Dave Reichert (WA-08), and Representative Patrick Tiberi (OH-12).
Here's the Burr version:
We're putting $650,000 into the campaign, and we're hoping they'll let us know if their positions were in fact influenced by the insurance money they've taken, or maybe they're just too comfortable in Washington.
Senators and Representatives, you can feel free to leave your answers in the comments below.
It is mind boggling to me how the labor union, AFSCME, can afford to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads like these when their employees get excellent health insurance and benefits from their employers, much of which is employer (tax payer) paid. AFSCME is nothing but a union which are fronts for all of the ills of our liberal society.
Hmmmm….
Elizabeth,
none of that answers why our tax dollars can pay for the congressman's health plan, subsidies for a private industry that denies us care and small business's AND corporations who have to cough up more because insurance giants are making a 400 per cent killing from higher premiums.
Many of us are proud to be part of the unions, because history will show that big business have rarely had their workers interests at heart until the workers organized.
Insurance companies control the costs, and even union members cannot afford those.
I invite you Elizabeth, what conservatives and Republicans have done to improve the health care system in this country in the last 8 years.
