He got it right after the 2010 election a year ago as noted here... He had surprised people then with the announcement of this surgery. I wonder if there's something else health-wise that's lingering in the background with him now that is making him more "buyable" by the private health insurers...

Yikes, WheelWalker Dec 2011 #9

Then again, he was an active opponent of the "public option" Ken Burch Jan 2012 #11

on many issues, he's well to the left of mainstream "Democratic values" 0rganism Dec 2011 #10

It's odd that that would be the case Ken Burch Jan 2012 #12

Beyond odd, really 0rganism Jan 2012 #13
