Brown-Waite: Belle of the Insurance Ball
If you support paying billions more in taxes, to lower private health insurance premiums by 3 percent by 2016 … then you’re going to love the health care plan Ginny Brown-Waite voted for on Saturday night.
That’s right, Ginny Brown-Waite may have voted against a public option but she voted for a health care plan that was designed to help insurance companies, not us! According to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, the health care plan that she voted for would take six years to achieve 3 percent savings in health care premiums for 8 out of 10 Americans.
This would have had devastating consequences for small businesses and working families. As you know all too well, Main Street America is being crippled by the big insurance companies that continue to raise our premiums at the same time they reduce what health services they cover. The result has put small businesses (the economic engine in our area) in an impossible situation.
I definitely would not have supported the Ginny Brown-Waite’s alternative plan which was a big pay-off to the big insurance companies.
So the big question is why did Ginny Brown-Waite stand with the big insurance companies? Because the insurance company special interests pumped over $150,000 thousand dollars into Ginny Brown-Waite’s campaign in the last 3 months alone!
