Pelosi Gets Kagen's "Yes" Vote On Health Care

From The Hill.
Pelosi and Kagen on stage together.




"He didn’t join Dahlkemper and Pelosi on stage, but Rep. Steve Kagen (D-Wis.) did. Kagen, a physician, had been listed as a “no” on the whip count, which gauged support for the robust, or Medicare-based, public option. But he came out in support after Pelosi dropped that option in favor of a compromise that would order public plan officials to negotiate rates with providers.




“I am working hard to guarantee access to affordable care for all of us, and the Affordable Healthcare for America Act is a huge step in that direction,” said Kagen." Pelosi picks up centrist ‘yes’ votes in House - TheHill.com

Rep.Kagan MD, a traitor and impostor to the people of the 8th. This Pelosi health care bill will bankrupt us and burden generations to come. Why did you turn your back on us, the productive over taxed and fee'd citizens of the 8th? I asked you to stand with the responsible productive citizens of the 8th who opposed this disgrace of a Pelosi burdensome heath care control and tax bill. Kagan, I can't express my anger and disappoint enough, in what you have done to us. You chose Pelosi over the people of the 8th. A disgrace you are. 11/10 can't come soon enough.
