Herseth Sandlin (D South Dakota) To Oppose House Health Care Bill
Kelo-land News ^

Posted on 11/06/2009 11:25:57 AM PST by DadOfFive

Representative Stephanie Herseth Sandlin says she will oppose the health care reform bill expected to be considered this weekend in the House.

The South Dakota Democrat says the plan falls short of her goals for health care reform and could threaten existing access to health care for many South Dakotans. Herseth Sandlin says she's also concerned it doesn't do enough to bring down the federal deficit and could affect future health care for seniors.

The House could begin consideration this weekend of the 10-year, $1.2 trillion legislation that would extend health coverage to tens of millions of uninsured Americans and put tough new restrictions on insurance companies.

Herseth Sandlin says she is hopeful the bill can be improved by House and Senate negotiators.

She was also one of the dems that voted against crap-n-trade awhile back. Maybe she'll leave the dark-side someday. She's a recent new mother so maybe her view on abortion could soften as well. She's too damn good looking for a Dem anyhow. lol

“She’s too damn good looking for a Dem anyhow.”

Really? Her eyes are hard and her hair reminds me of a mop.

He’s feeling the heat as well. Blue dogs and Dems who barely beat a GOP opponent last fall are all probably voting “NO” tomorrow.

I was born in SoDak and have a lot of family back there, so I pay attention to what is happening. It seems to me that Daschle spent a lot of time in DC, seems Stephanie has too...

You’re not the only one. My whole family, friends and neighborhood have been driving her and her staff crazy with our calls and letters.

She got the message!

Senator Johnson (D-South Dakota), you’re next!

Not sure how long these types of things will be sarcasm only. I do wish, though, that anytime anyone is “summoned” to the bigwigs’ offices, they would go with a tape recorder or an amanuensis. Shout their threats and intimidation. from the mountaintops

A few years ago I saw Stephanie Herseth on CSPAN talking about national security. I wrote her an email that said the most important thing she could do to improve national security is get married and have some children. Apparently Mrs Sandlin is able to take good advice, which is a good trait in a politician.

Maybe she plans to challenge Thune for Senate in 2010.

(D) Kratovil from Maryland’s 1st congressional district is telling callers he is voting against it as well.

Expected, or not?
