AUGUSTA,Ga---Dozens gathered at the Augusta Museum of History for a chamber of commerce forum on health care reform with Senator Saxby Chambliss. Chambliss attempted to set the record straight on what he calls misinformation.
"Say goodbye," said Susan Swanson who is fed up with Washington lawmakers. "Kick out the bums. Kick them all out."
She fears talk of health care reform.
"My concern is all this talk about death panels," said Susan. "All the bureaucracy that people have to go through."
The death panel rumors were given credence by Sarah Palin who campaigned with Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss in Augusta back in November. Chambliss is looking to distance himself from Palin on his latest trip to Augusta.
"I don't agree with her that there will be death panels created by any of the plans that are out there," said Chambliss.
Susan doesn't know who to believe.
"It's not Washington," said Susan. "I don't believe Washington."
"I commend the president for spending political capital to bring this issue to the forefront," said Chambliss. "We've talked about reforming health care for years, but we've never gotten around to it."
Chambliss reached across the aisle as Senator Ted Kennedy, a champion for health care reform, loses his battle to cancer.
"The Senate is a family," said Chambliss. "We are all good friends within the Senate, and Senator Kennedy was a great legislator."
But nice gestures won't ease Susan's concerns about Washington.
"We're not going to give up our freedom of good health care to make them happy," said Susan.
Senator Chambliss says he would like to see the government provide tax credits. He says he could not support the current house bill that would pay for reform by possibly taxing the rich.
Hey Saxby,
You better pray Palin dosen’t become prez, the next time you’re up for re-election, Sarah won’t answering your phone calls.
Well you could be correct, but I am not so sure he was being gutless... I think what I was reading adds up to 'fear', of a 'family' in a sort of way. That word 'legislation' does not exactly fit in what a reasonable person would use first in describing a 'family'. And after all the Senate Finance committee did tell us they removed the 'death panel'. So it is like it did not happen, 'you know' in a family way.
There is a Chinese proverb, “save a dog, it will be loyal to you for life, save a human and he/she might betray you.”
Well, he certainly betrayed Palin!
OMG, didn’t she go there to help him win election. SCREW HIM
“The Senate is a family,” said Chambliss. “We are all good friends within the Senate,”
There’s the problem right there.
Hey Chambliss,
Keep your laws off my BODY!
So no hard feelings about the Democrats in the Senate recruiting and supporting Jim Martin, a serious challenger, against you for Senate in 2008. Heck NO? That's what the good ol boys do...
But Sarah Palin that campaigned for you, and because she did you were able to raise tons of money from outside the state, she gets thrown under the bus for making truthful, documented and collaborated statements about death panels. AND by the way you moron, she used that term figuratively, not literally.
I sent him an e-mail about this and today he responded. He basically just disagrees with describing the end of life provisions as death panals. ****I have great respect for Sarah Palin but I do not agree with her characterization that H.R. 3200, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009," the health care bill in the House of Representatives, establishes "death panels." That being said, I am opposed to a government run option for health insurance and opposed to the language in the bill that references end of life counseling and what others have come to describe as "death panels."****
