Healthcare Reform
Last summer a group of Democrats in Sussex County worked for a health care plan with a strong public option. It was a wonderful experience to see RDs, Progressive Democratic groups, local Democratic clubs, and our State Party endorse the Resolution.
Well, we have a health care plan, but the insurance companies won this Round and we don’t have a public option. I am very disappointed. I believe most Delawareans favor a much stronger health care bill than the one we are going to end up with.
Despite my disillusionment I don’t think we can give up. I plan to keep working in memory of the 134,000 who died in this country between 2000 and 2006 because they did not have health care insurance. I plan to keep working for those who have no lobbyists working for them in Washington.
