Blue Dog Dem Leader Ross Rejects Public Option
Blue Dog Dem Leader Ross Rejects Public Option
Tuesday, September 8, 2009 11:11 AM
WASHINGTON – A leader of a pivotal group of moderate House Democrats says he can no longer support a new public insurance plan in a health overhaul bill.
Rep. Mike Ross of Arkansas made the announcement Tuesday as members of Congress returned from Washington after their August recess.
It could be a sign of big trouble ahead for President Barack Obama and Democratic leaders trying to push health legislation through Congress. Most House liberals say they won't support a bill without a public plan.
In July, Ross took the lead in negotiating changes to House Democrats' health overhaul bill to make it more palatable to moderates. He voted for it in committee with a public plan.
But Ross said that after hearing from constituents over the recess he could not support a bill with a public plan.

Wow obama is beginning to lose a lot of support within his own party.
It was bound to happen really.....these people see what obama is all about. They're not going to support that kind of agenda because for all the greed and desire for power that most of them possess, even they will draw the line somewhere.
I've always believed that this march toward facism has been the work of few among the many and that "the many" were not going to go along with it.
Seems like the health care travesty may have just been the catalyst for them to break with obama.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
