I Fucking Hate Joe Lieberman (Health Care Reform Edition)

As if Joe Lieberman wasn’t bad enough already, now he’s going out of his way to oppose health care reform. But wait, he sure had different views during the 2006 senatorial campaign:

July 6, 2006 [Via Lieberman pledged support for universal health insurance in 2006 campaign :

What I’m saying to the people of Connecticut, I can do more for you and your families to get something done to make health care affordable, to get universal health insurance.

October 23, 2006:

I’ve been working on health insurance reform for more than a dozen years… I have offered a comprehensive program. Small business health insurance reform, plus something I call MediKids to cover all the children in America on a sliding fee basis up until the age of 25.

MediChoice to allow anybody in our country to buy into a national insurance pool like the health insurance pool that we federal employees and Members of Congress have. Medical malpractice reform.

It will cover 95% of those who are not covered now, and it will reduce the pressure on rising costs for all the millions of others.

In conclusion, Joe Lieberman is a soulless asshole who got bought out by the insurance industry.
