Politics Tennessean: Death of Health-Care Reform Prognosticated With Single Victory Among Numerous Defeats
Posted by Brantley Hargrove on Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 10:55 AM
Specifically, Judge Henry E. Hudson ruled that the insurance mandate exceeded the powers of the federal government. But a lack of affordable health insurance is sending the deficit spiraling out of control. (Can Republicans stop claiming to be fiscal hawks now?) What the story failed to mention is the judge's apparent financial conflict of interest. It seems pertinent to Pith that Hudson is an investor in a firm that is actively involved in seeking the repeal of health-care reform. Campaign Solutions Inc. has consulted for Sarah Palin, John McCain, John Boehner, Michelle Bachmann and, perhaps most notably, Ken Cuccinelli, the Virginia attorney general who filed the lawsuit against reform Hudson just ruled in favor of.
Might be a good thing to tell us about, guys. Also, it should be noted that two federal judges have ruled in favor of reform and 12 other cases challenging its constitutionality have been dismissed. Here's the latest, but of course it doesn't get the media attention.
