Congress and the Exchanges

5 Comments
No, it's not a new indie band, it's an aspect of the health care reform debate that just might end up being important. Remember back to last summer? Of course you do. Tiger Woods was a respected public figure, Beau Biden was going to announce his candidacy any day now, and teabagging wingnuts were screaming all sorts of nonsense at Congressmen. One of the not-so-nonsensical things they were yelling, though, was the challenge of, "If the public option/exchanges is so great, why don't you use it?" Well, this time the Senate listened.

Kaufman Takes on Too Big To Fail

I really wish Senator Kaufman made no Shermanesque statements upon accepting former Governor Minner's appointment. He is experienced, passionate, more than capable, intelligent, and has served Delaware well over the last year and a half as our junior Senator. And I say that because I want Senator Kaufman to remain my Senator. I want to vote for him. Not only for what he has said today, but for what he has said and done over his tenure. Because, quite frankly, we Democrats in Delaware are not used to being represented by a someone is Congress who wants to break up big banks, regulate and hold corporations to task, and push for a public health insurance option.
