In a previous post I wondered if Ron Sparks would want Alabama to "opt out" of the health care Public Option -- Medicare for all --, even though he had said he favored President Obama's health care reform. Here's the answer in a Huntsville Times story.
Sparks says he does support the public option, making even clearer the difference between him and Rep. Artur Davis, who joined the rest of the Alabama delegation to the U.S. House in opposing the president's legislation. Based on his vote, we can only presume that Rep. Davis would encourage the Alabama Legislature to pass "opt out" legislation, and that would sign it, if the final health care measure includes one and if he is elected.
So which is it, Ron Sparks does or does not oppose the public option? Here he said that he was opposed to it: http://www.youtube.com/arturdavis#p/a/u/0/lZas--2pLrs
ReplyDeleteThe Sparks Campaign really confuses me. Appears as if he is saying what he thinks people want to hear.
I want to hear honesty and consistency.
