The Spokesman-Review

On Thursday, House Minority Leader John Boehner, surrounded by other party members, criticized HR 3962 and accused the opposing party of not listening to the American people. Directly behind him, beaming and nodding in agreement, was Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers.

I agree – someone isn’t listening. The American people are being gouged by greedy health insurance companies with no end in sight. Doctors are being squeezed by malpractice insurance companies. Why is Rep. McMorris Rodgers protecting corporations instead of the American people?
