Senate Dems' answer on health care: Go on offense


http://news.yahoo.com/senate-dems-answer-health-care-offense-073125710.html

now that is what i'm talking about, politicians doing the right thing even if some in their state are still behind the bushes no pun intended. something will always be not favored by somebody, but those things tend to be just what the majority wants and needs.
Article PhotoATLANTA (AP) — Far from reversing course, Senate Democratswho backed President Barack Obama's health care law and now face re-election in GOP-leaning states are reinforcing their support for the overhaul even as Republicans intensify their criticism.
Mark Begich of Alaska, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and Kay Hagan of North Carolina will face voters in 2014 for the first time since voting for the Affordable Care Act — also known as "Obamacare" — three years ago. They aren't apologizing for their vote, and several are pursuing an aggressive strategy: Embrace the law, help voters use it and fix what doesn't work.
this is what your political leaders should be doing, not defaming everything down to jobs that the Pres. comes up with but pushing it pass those in their party that do not want to see you succeed, because you will vote progressive again, pretty self serving and the very plan the right wing has to date.
then again they still have lies fro last time they have not revealed as promised "after the election" guess if they told us before they would have gotten the same endgame.
I don't run from my votes," Begich told The Associated Press. "Politicians who sit around and say, 'That's controversial so I better run from it,' just ask for trouble. Voters may not always agree with you, but they respect people who think about these issues and talk about them."
That means, Begich said, reminding voters that as a candidate in 2008 he called for prohibiting insurers from denying coverage based on existing health problems, ending lifetime coverage limits and making it easier for workers to leave a job and still have insurance, an option they'll have under new exchanges that consumers can begin using to buy individual policies this fall.
"There's a lot of good that people will realize as this all comes online," the first-term senator said.
republicans can never change words to come off like this a honorable politician that really wants to do the job, and don't put perks first over " we the people".
