Committee votes show how Reichert would have voted on health care plan | Letter

Congressman Reichert may feel that he dodged a bullet by not having to vote on AHA. He now refuses to say how he would have voted if the bill came up for vote.

Sorry Congressman! Your attempt at obfuscation will not work. We already have documented evidence of your support for AHA.

AHA had to clear three congressional committees before being considered for a floor vote, Ways and Means being one of them. As a senior member of this committee, Reichert happily signed off on an earlier version of AHA. All we need to do is to look at the language of the version that cleared Ways-and-Means to know exactly where Reichert stands.

Congressman Reichert, we have, shall we say, your “fingerprints” of support for AHA on record. The voters of 8th congressional district will not forget.
