Senate candidate lashes out at health reform plan

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

By: Mark Fowser mfowser@whyy.org

Delaware US Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell Sunday called for a repeal of the health care reform plan enacted by the Obama administration and the US Congress.

The Republican hopeful was joined by a group of doctors, nurses and other medical professionals at the Glasgow Medical Center who expressed concerns about the growing numbers of uninsured Americans, treatment given to them in hospital emergency rooms that is not paid for, and who ultimately gets the bill.

Christopher Casscells MD, President of the Delaware Academy of Medicine, cited recent US Census findings that 50.7 million Americans were uninsured. "That's largely because premiums have gone up, because available plans have been discontinued. Employers have dropped plans because they couldn't comply with the regulations — it's not possible," Casscells said.

"The unintended consequence of this legislation is more than doubling the number of uninsured in this country," Casscells said.

The gathering was billed as "Medical Professionals for O'Donnell." She also said the legislation failed to include meaningful tort reform. The tea party-endorsed candidate's Democratic opponent, New Castle County Executive Chris Coons, has said in recent debates the health care reform plan was not perfect, but is against a repeal.

WIN CHRISTINE WIN

[who knows what evil?]

Same event where Coons’ goons were slapping O’Donnell’s people around? No mention of that in this ‘mainstream’ news article...

I wonder what this is all about?

Chris Coons supporters allegedly assault Christine O’Donnell staffers

Good for Christine O’Donnell, this type campaigning is what needs to be done. Show the people what the medical professionals are saying, not Obama and the Dems who are trying to ruin our medical care and break the budget.

GO CHRISTINE!

Ted Kennedy is dead, and buried. The same should happen to his life-long dream of Socialized Medicine.

Kill it, and bury it.

Win one for us Christine.

I still think Christine can pull this off.

[jazusamo]

Not too surprising for Dem goons, maybe some of Murtha’s moved from PA to DE.

[no dems]

Coon’s supporters assaulting O’Donnell staffers???? Has any major news outlet reported this?

[hoosiermama]

From link above:
But, while leading doctors from across the state held a press conference with Christine O’Donnell, two Coons disrupted the press conference and were asked to leave. By way of disrupting the press conference which was held in a conference room inside the Glasgow Medical Center, the Coons supporters trespassed on that property since they were not seeking medical care.

It was reported that they were asked to leave, but re-entered the building defying orders from security guards and possibly even Delaware State Police.
One Christine O’Donnell staffer is suffering from a head pain as she was shoved into a wall. Two other staffers were also shoved, but their injuries are not known at this time.

With Coons sending out his thugs to beat up on O'Donnell's staff people it's pretty clear that the Democrats own internal polls aren't looking too good at all.

This happened with that Coakley woman who ran against Senator Brown ~ she ordered one of her thugs to try to murder a reporter she thought too favorable to Senator Brown (my interpretation of events on this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8CdfQGlgVw ).

It's not been confirmed as far as I know, just blog postings. Here's another one...

"The unintended consequence of this legislation is more than doubling the number of uninsured in this country,"

Well, that is OK. After all the Democrats had good intentions in designing the National Health Care Reform.

Sure they make worse everything that get their hands on, but hey, they are liberals and liberal are never held accountable.

They care about the little guy. See?

[who knows what evil?]

Don’t know...seen it on several blogs, but that is it.
