Rothman: I have not taken a position to support or oppose the plans that are out there

by: Jason Springer

Thu Aug 13, 2009 at 03:54:49 PM EDT



Congressman Rothman has been holding his town halls around the district to talk to residents about the healthcare reform bills.  Here is some video of people that were voicing their opposition to the plans, where the Congressman says very clearly that he has not taken a position on whether to support or oppose the plans that are out there:

And here is video from Whitehouse.com of the town hall the Congressman held in Wallington. Rothman isn't alone for the Democrats that aren't yet on board apparently.  John Adler isn't sold either:
Several times throughout the meeting Adler made it clear that he was OPPOSED to the health care bill and would vote AGAINST it.
Congressman Pallone and others held a press conference call yesterday to discuss the impact our broken health care system is having on Seniors and the importance of passing the health insurance reform that follows President Obama's Health Insurance Guarantees. It looks like the Congressman may need to start making calls to his own colleagues here in New Jersey to make sure that happens.

We and the not nutty Americans have to call (0.00 / 0)
When I see seniors going crazy against public health insurance ... WTF?

Don't they realize Medicare is single payer government health insurance and it works? It works despite Bush and the Republicans cutting reimbursement to physicians and increasing $$ to insurance companies, especially the HMOs! Now you know who is paying for all thouse Medicare Advantage programs!

I've spoken to senior staff for Adler, Holt and Pascrell in the last couple of weeks and they have said the calls against Reforms are running anywhere from 3 to 10 to one in favor.

This must be OUR wake up call to the fearmongers of the Insurance companies and the right wing. CALL!
CALL! Explain to friends and family and be heard!

We must be heard!

Death panels? Where are the libertarians? This is an opportunity for people to take control of their lives and exercise some responsibility for their family and the nut jobs go wild and try and kill it.

Looks like the wing nuts make the rules ... we'd better learn to play better!
