Connolly To Vote ‘YES’

After Weeks Of Being Noncommittal, Connolly Caves To Party Leaders:

“Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly (D) announced Saturday afternoon that he will vote for the Democrat’s health-care reform package. In a press release, Connolly said: ‘For the past year, my constituents have told me they want health insurance reform, but only if it meets certain tests. Will it bring down premiums for families and small businesses? Will it reduce the deficit? Will it protect their choice of plan and doctor? Will it improve access to care? The answer to each of these questions is ‘Yes, it will.’’” (“Connolly to vote for health-reform package,” Washington Post, 03/20/10)
