Dean On Health Care: "Kill The Senate Bill", via Vermont Public Radio:
Former Gov. Howard Dean says the Senate health care bill should be killed if it doesn't expand Medicare.
If this were the old west, I have a feeling Traitor Joe would have a posse chasing him across the plains, guns a-blazin'.Dean says the time has come for Senate Democratic leaders to kill the current health care reform bill because it's no longer worth supporting.
Dean is upset that the Democrats appear willing to weaken a public option provision in the bill in order to secure the vote of Independent Connecticut senator Joe Lieberman.
Ed Schultz disagrees with Howard Dean, by the way. He's saying as much on his show on MSNBC as we speak. He's livid at Lieberman, but doesn't think the bill should be tossed.
Sherrod Brown is saying that he's talked to Lieberman again, "made another plea" and will continue to try.
