I wonder if he has a “Cadillac” Health Plan to pay for the surgery?

Well, well, well... how convenient. Both Dodd and Larson will be MIA for the entire month of August. No angry voters to face at town hall meetings before September.

Healthwise, I wish them well, but notice how there was no waiting for these surgeries... nothing but the best for these 'RAT "gods"...

I wonder if he had his “extended life meeting” with the feds before his surgery.

Another hypocrite who refuses to submit to state-owned health care. Why didn’t he have his surgery in Canada or Cuba?

will return to work in the course of the next few weeks

Back in time to vote for the universal health plan that is mandatory for everyone...

(Except for the liberal elitists. They have their own plan of course.)

I will be nice and state that healthwise, I wish both Larson and Sen. Dodd well. However, isn't it rather convenient they both are having their surgeries in August... no angry voters to face at town hall meetings before September??? Hmmmm....

He’ll pull a Dodd by having a press conference tying his Cadillac Congressional health care to the need for government run health care.

And notice how there was no waiting for either surgery? (Dodd is having his surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in NYC, btw)

Oh you can bet on that! The Cadillac Congressional health care policy he and all members of Congress own comes from a PRIVATE company (or companies), by the way. It is NOT any kind of "public" nor government-run health care policy. Nothing but the best...
