I'm pretty new here, so my apologies if this has been covered. I haven't seen it, though. This gave me pause:
"We're past campaign mode: I think it's important for everyone to get some form of health care," Brown told a news conference Wednesday morning. "So to offer a basic plan for everybody I think is important. It's just a question of whether we're going to raise taxes, we're going to cut a half at trillion from Medicare, we're going to affect veterans' care. I think we can do it better."
"We have 98 percent of our people insured here," he said at another point. "We know what we need to fix it."
More below the fold...
After all, Brown voted for the Massachusetts bil.
I am skeptical, seeing the state of the national Republican Party at this point, that he would play ball once he got there. However, it would be the ultimate irony if the guy being painted as the hero of the right, coming to town to stop health care reform, actually ended up being the deciding voice in finally pushing it in a more liberal direction.
I know this is short, but I have to be up early in the morning and just was interested in what some of the people from MA, who know more about this guy, might have to say.
