Yesterday, Reps. Vic Snyder and Mike Ross hosted a townhall meeting on healthcare at Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Blogger Jason Tolbert was there, and via his Twitter account, he provided frequent updates on the event’s happenings. One of Mr. Tolbert’s Tweets stood out to me the most.
Our friends at Family Research Council have released an ad concering the government takeover of health care. Rumor has it this ad will soon be running in Arkansas. Take a look.
House leaders, the White House, and Blue Dog Democrats reached a deal on the health care bill yesterday. Over the next day or two, the House Energy and Commerce Committee will markup the bill and most likely pass it out by end of day tomorrow. The good news: Even when it reaches the House floor, there will be no vote until the fall. That bides all of us time to build an even stronger opposition, because the bill is still not any good–despite input from the so-called “fiscally conservative” Blue Dogs.
