Rubin Stretching Taffy, Kagen To Vote Against Health Care, That's a Stretch -
From FDL

"Steve Kagen’s spokesman, Jake Rubin, believes I’m mistaken. “Your source may have told you half of the story.” Rubin said that Rep. Kagen, a doctor, doesn’t support a bill unless it includes all of his 10 essential elements of health care reform. Rubin highlighted Kagen’s insistence that no discrimination in any access to health care, which for the most part has been accomplished in the bill. In fact, a good bit of these 10 essential elements are part of the House bill. Other parts are “open to interpretation,” and that will be where Rep. Kagen makes his determination on the bill, Rubin said. Rep. Kagen was part of the “Quality Care coalition” which extracted a concession from Speaker Pelosi on rural reimbursement rates for Medicare doctors and hospitals, so that may be an additional factor. “Rep. Kagen’s stand is consistent with where he was three years ago when he was elected to Congress,” Rubin said."
