I have repeatedly emailed my senators (Warner & Webb of VA) asking them not to support any expansion of the Federal governments role in health care. Please redouble your efforts.
the barf alert here is unwarrented. webb had exactly the same reservations as susan collins of maine who spoke today after lieberman made his speach. lieberman was satisfied that he could vote for the bill since both the single payer option and lowering the age limit to 55 for medicare—would be taken out
collins said she wouldn’t vote for the bill because of her concerns for the gutting of medicare and some inhome provisions. webb expressed exactly the same reservations but didn’t say where he would vote in the end.

Likely Webb is looking at the massive swing of independant voters in Virginia to the pubbies in november. those are the same people who elected him. he gets it.
