If This is Accurate…
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009If this post is accurate, then Tim Walz is in a world of re-election hurt:
Where Congress Stands
Rep Timothy Walz D MN-1
Supports the choice of public Healthcare option? Yes
This isn’t a bright career move, especially considering Rep. Walz voted for Cap And Trade. It’s one thing to take an unpopular vote now and again. It’s another to vote for the two most toxic pieces of legislation of this generation. Voting for the public option, aka single-payer health care, won’t sit well in a district that includes the Mayo Clinic. I asked in this post whether the Mayo Clinic could’ve been built if there was a single-payer system in place when Mayo was built. I’m betting that it wouldn’t have gotten built.
I’m betting that alot of research dollars will dry up if health care legislation is passed with a public option.
Combine voting for health care legislation with the public option with voting to raise MN-1 farmers’ gas prices and you’ve got a toxic mix to dig out from. Good luck with that one, Rep. Walz.
