Via Firedoglake comes the below video, of Rep. Mike Ross (D-AR), the Blue Dog’s health care point man, boasting of holding House health care legislation hostage in the Energy and Commerce Committee for 10 days.
Ross also repeats a common, but strangely tone deaf, “critique” of a robust public option, tied to Medicare, nothing that “Medicare has really good rates, because they’re negotiating for every senior in America.” How horrible.
