Cooper Says Health Reform Can't Add to Deficit

Posted by Jeff Woods on Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 12:40 PM

On Bloomberg News, Congressman Jim Cooper insists the Blue Dogs are the good guys in the health care debate. "We believe we're helping the president achieve his goals." In another interview on MSNBC, Cooper lays out what he wants: He says the bill has to be "deficit neutral" in less than 10 years and "bend the cost curve in the right direction." He says he personally favors a public plan, and taxing health benefits. He says Medicaid can't be completely free forever to the states.

Why be so mean to Mr. Jim? He's a wonderful man and he's been so very, very generous to us.
Thank you Mr. Jim,

I read some of the posts and I think it is a great place! You bring out the best of my right ambiguity Good joke :) What do you get when you cross a pit bull with a collie? A dog that runs for help, after he bites your leg off.
