Health care has congressman on the fence
U.S. Rep. Chris Carney, D-Dimock, remains “undecided” about the latest national health insurance bill. As of Friday afternoon, he said he still was listening to what “both sides of the issue” were saying and was studying the legislation. Carney said he likely would continue to study the bill and listen to arguments from those for and against it up until a vote is taken. That could come Sunday afternoon. Carney may not be fully decided, but his comments suggest he may be leaning at least a little. “Everything I wanted to see is in there,” he said. The congressman said the telephones of his Washington office have been ringing constantly, but many of the callers are from both outside his district and outside Pennsylvania. In addition, he said his staff tells him many of the callers seeking “no” votes appear to be using similar scripts.
