Election 2010 in Tennessee; Part 2

I was recently invited, by my county's Democratic Party, to view an interview with John Tanner on health care reform, it was a clip from You-Tube.

I watched and listened. Congressman Tanner talks a good talk but his vote tells a very different story.

I have been told that Congressman Tanner voted against the health care bill because of a few things in there that he did not agree with. It would seem that Congressman Tanner wants to "get it right."
As for those things in the health care bill that he did not agree with; first, I would like to know what they are and second, were they really worth throwing away the chance of a lifetime of getting universal health care for Americans.

Mr. Tanner, there will never be a perfect bill, never. You, of all people, know that.

In this interview, Congressman Tanner said that he did not want to live in a country where a 5 year old Leukemia patient could not get the treatment they need because their parents could not afford health insurance. I would ask Mr. Tanner: Why did you vote against this child?

It is my humble opinion, Congressman, that if you are going to talk the talk, vote the vote.
