Candidate for Congress in Maine's 1st CD.
It was déjà vu all over again when I picked up the paper this week and read that Senator Susan Collins had recently discovered we have a healthcare crisis in this country and proclaimed, "It is long overdue for us to tackle this issue."
How is she planning to "tackle" the health care crisis? She's drafted a letter to Senate leadership and then she wants to pass a resolution. I bet the insurance and pharmaceutical industries are just quaking in their boots.
Overdue, she says? The last time Sen. Collins felt overcome by the ambition to fix America's broken healthcare system was in 2002. If my math is correct, that was six years ago. You know, when she was up for reelection the last time. And I was her Democratic opponent.
