Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-IN), the Democratic nominee in the Indiana Senate race, is standing by his vote for health care reform in 2010 — and actively firing back at its detractors, the Times of Northwest Indiana reports:
“First, they ought to talk to Mitt Romney because he basically laid out so many of the premises in it,” Donnelly said. “If they want an argument, they ought to start with him.”
Donnelly also spoke at about the law’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions, such as his own daughter Molly, who has rheumatoid arthritis: “My daughter and millions of other Americans who may have diabetes or a heart condition or cancer can get health coverage for the first time because of the health care bill.”
