As a state senator, Obama CAVED to the lobbyists when Illinois was trying to pass legislation providing health insurance for ALL Illinois residents. Obama listened to the lobbyists and WATERED DOWN the
legislation and REDUCED the number of Illinois residents that were protected with health insurance.
