Kent Conrad Gets Called To The Principal’s Office On Health Care

Obama has called Senator Kent Conrad in for a talk about health care, and with Conrad already hedging on his support for the “public option”, one wonders if Obama isn’t going to be telling Conrad to toe the line.

President Barack Obama will meet privately at the White House on Monday afternoon with Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) in a session that is likely to focus on health care reform. …
Obama also met privately at the White House last week with another key moderate in the debate, Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.).

Remember that Kent Conrad made a lot of promises here in North Dakota during the town halls of the August recess. He promised not to support a bill that funded abortion. He promised not to support a public option. But remember also that at one point Conrad said he was opposed to passing health care through the Senate by bypassing the filibuster, but eventually he caved to Obama on that one.
So, is Conrad’s cave to Obama on his other promises soon to come?

    ONLY a liberal can insist that murdering unborn babies is "choice", and then turn around and vote for a healthcare plan that will eliminate "choice" for the rest of us. Lying hypocrites! They can ram this down our throats in '09, but we'll cram it back up their lying asses in '10.

    We need to remember this for when Conrad and Dorgan start talking about how much power, influence, and seniority they wield in Washington on behalf of us hicks back home in Flannel Shirt Country.

    CTP’s Health Care Reform

    Tort Reform – Implement “Loser Pays” since plaintiffs don’t have any risk and can take a free shot at a doctor. But doctors are winning about 85% of these cases and half of these cases are frivolous. (Source: Inside Tucson Business – Aug 2009)

    Interstate Health Insurance – If individuals in one state could buy health insurance from companies regulated by other states, it would create competition that would force premiums down. It would also let individuals decide how much coverage they want. (Source: NPR – Jul 2005)

    Remove State Mandates – Millions of uninsured Americans live in states that impose numerous mandates — there are about 1,900 mandates nationwide — and those restrictions make health insurance unaffordable. (Source: Wall Street Journal – Oct 2008)

    Health Savings Accounts – HSAs offer Americans a new coverage option that give them a new choice in coverage configuration, personal control of their health care spending, and the path to own their own health care plans. (Source: Heritage Foundation – Apr 2004)

    Removal Of Illegal Alien Health Care Costs – Enforcing our nation’s immigration laws would save billions every year since Illegal aliens consume $3.7 Billion annually in Medicare and Medicaid benefits since 40% of illegal aliens are on U.S. Welfare (Federation for American Immigration Reform)

    The Senate will vote for cloiture. Dorgan will vote no on final bill,Conrad will vote for it becuz it will not have a "public option". Dorgan can then come back to ND and say he didn't vote for it and Conrad hopes we will forget about his vote the next time he is up for reelection.

    A sad but probably accurate prediction.

    …by the time Dorgan re-election comes up: the public wont be "allowed" to think back about what was done to them…..

    I'm hearing about the big 3 in the Senate meeting alone daily (Dodd, Reid & Bacus) on health care—Conrad must really want plausible deniability on this one…….as head of Senate Finance Comm, you'd think he at least be listening on the intercom……….
