MSNBC’s david shuster calls out sen. carper
By Chuck Smith-Dewey
healthinsurance.org founder & ceo
July 6, 2009
Kudos to MSNBC’s David Shuster for calling out Sen. Thomas Carper (D-DE) on-air.
Shuster, leading into an interview with Carper, pointed out that health industry lobbyists are spending $1.4 million a day trying to block a public option for health insurance.
During the interview, he pointed out the $223,000 the insurance industry and the additional $122,000 from the pharmaceutical companies that have flowed into Carper’s campaign coffers for his 2010 re-election.
Watch:
If Carper is your Senator, call him at one of these numbers and tell him to support a REAL public option, not the phoney co-op plans that have no teeth.
