Senator Bob Corker (R) Tennessee ~ Opposes Health Care Reform
By: Don Jones...8/29/09

I have read in this mornings Jackson Sun Newspaper, that U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R)Tennessee was the guest speaker at the Chamber of Commerce in Jackson Tennessee and that we needed to take a pragmatic approach to Health Care reform, we needed to be cautious. This from a U.S. Senator from Tennessee who opposes health care reform and speaking to the Chamber of Commerce who also opposes health care reform ! The Chamber of Commerce like Senator Corker represents the most affluent and wealthiest individuals in our nation. The Chamber, remember opposes labor unions as well as health care reform. The Chamber being one of the largest unions in our country, opposes free democratic labor unions. What is good for the goose evidently is not good for the gander ? ! Both U.S. Senators from Tennessee Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, both republicans, are opposed to health care reform. Tennessee is kinda like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders. Yet, we vote these wealthy affluent individuals to office. Both Senators Alexander and Corker are two of the wealthie$t Senators in the Senate ! We Tennesseans buy the best Health Care Insurance for both of these representatives. WHY ? They are both opposed to the public option. If you make minimum wage in Tennessee, not only can you not afford health insurance, you barely make enough to eat. These two Senators not only do not identify with most Tennesseans. Bob Corker says, that government role in health care should be limited. I agree, lets drop his health care(The Best that your/our tax money can buy) insurance that you and I pay for ! The public option is vital to those of us, who do not have the greatest health care provided by US ! It seems to be alright for the tax payer to provide the best for our representatives, but not ourselves ? Wake up Tennesseans ! Senators Alexander and Corker, seem to talk out of both sides of their mouth at the same time. What`s good for them, is good enough for us. I`ll take their coverage, as I think most Tennesseans would. Goose and Gander again ! Bob Corker is worth somewhere between $17.1 million and $87.6 million according to a personal financial released by his office. Lamar Alexander is worth somewhere between $9.6 million and $36.6 million as released earlier this year. If the American public does not get health care reform, then I believe we do not need to purchase the best health care tax money can buy for our elected representatives. These two Senators can afford to buy their own health insurance. Let them. Even with their money, one catastrophic illness and they will be among the working/middle class without health care insurance. Wake up Tennesseans.
