Joseph Lieberman

Progressives who oppose this bill are not being obstructionist. Rather, they are taking the position that when real opportunities to reform health care arise, it is essential to get it right.

As the health care battle intensifies, insurance giant Aetna says it plans to raise its rates in 2010 and, as a result, expects to lose over 600,000 customers...while boosting profits. It's addition by subtraction, health care style. Aetna President Mark Bertolini justified the move as "ensuring that each customer is priced to an appropriate margin."

Coincidentally, Aetna is headquartered in Connecticut, home of Joe Lieberman, who, during his Senate career, has received over $2.4 million from the health care sector -- and who remains steadfastly opposed to a public option.
