McConnell: Dems Turning “Deaf Ear” To Public On Health Reform

Minority Senate Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) writes in a CNN (8/27) opinion piece, “For more than a year, Democrats in Washington have turned a deaf ear to the American people when it comes to health care.” For instance, “Americans told lawmakers in Washington that they wanted reforms that would lower costs; Democrats in Congress increased them,” and when “they said they wanted Medicare protected, Democrat leaders used it as a piggy bank.” McConnell concludes, “It doesn’t take a pollster to show that Americans don’t like the new health care bill. And maybe that’s why Democrat strategists, as reported Friday on CNN.com, are telling their candidates not to talk about their health care votes, even as Republicans increasingly are.”
