5. "the ERISA amendment" Then he's voting no
More grandstanding. His amendment sucks.

Kucinich amendment, specifically states: "instead of the public health insurance option or the National Health Exchange."

Now why do you suppose Kucinich's amendment gained the support of 13 Republicans in committee?

Right now, what's to stop a Republican governor from requesting (not applying, but requesting) the waiver just to opt out of the national plan?

No support, no funding, just a desire.
