healthcare the other day and was disappointed, but not surprised since he is supposedly one of Bayh's crew. Here it is:
Dear *,
Thank you for your recent letter regarding reforming our nation's health care system. I share your concerns about the need for comprehensive health care reform, especially during this challenging economic time.
Although I do not support a government-run single-payer health care system, I believe we need comprehensive reform to achieve a competitive, cost-effective, and efficient system. This effort should be primarily focused on ensuring that all Americans can get adequate health coverage, and the coverage must be cost-effective and based upon data-driven medical standards. Any final reform should also include measures to promote use of electronic medical records and a more intense focus on preventive care.
When this issue comes up for debate, I plan to put progress before partisanship to work on ways to increase access to health care for all Americans. Thanks again for writing with your views on health care. I hope to have your input in the coming months as we craft legislation to improve a health care system that is in dire need of reform.
Sincerely,
MARK R. WARNER
United States Senator
More Blue Dog double speak IMO, better not piss off the insurance companies and the Republicans... It seems that when it comes to really important issues that affect the people of this country, NOW is never the time to use bold measures to fix the problems. The only time bold and decisive action is called for is when we want to protect the corporations interests, or start wars.
