Murphy Says He May Vote "Yes"

From TheDailyStar.com: “Rep. Scott Murphy, D-Glens Falls, said he may vote for the health insurance reform bill that is moving through Congress. Murphy, who won a special election in the 20th Congressional District last spring to succeed Kirsten Gillibrand, voted no when the House of Representatives passed its version of health insurance reform in November. ‘I didn’t think the bill went far enough to control healthcare costs,’ Murphy said Friday. ‘We know we’re spending twice as much as other industrialized countries, and that’s a real problem for people.’ To gain his vote, proposed reforms will have to make health care substantially more affordable, he said. The bill passed by the Senate in December controlled some costs better than the House version, but had other drawbacks and would have been expensive for New York state, he said.” By Code Red
