The powerful speaker is a medical doctor. Nice job!
I want to follow this and see how his next election goes.

(2,419 posts)shutting down this constituent would have been even more disastrous than this video turned out. Tom MacArthur is a lot of things, but not stupid... which makes his position on health care even more nefarious.

(2,419 posts)an interesting editorial from the Newark Star-Ledger, also worth a minute or two of your time to read in its entirety. Here is an excerpt....
Of all the lamentable remarks from Tom MacArthur lately, the most tone-deaf utterance was his observation that the critics of his health care calamity share the same anxiety as those who dreaded the death panel myth sent down from Planet Palin.
"I think it speaks to the people's fear, but it reminds me a bit, people were saying President Obama wanted to set up death panels, wanted old people to die," the 3rd District congressman said after his five-hour town hall in Willingboro Wednesday. "You look back now and you realize how insane people got with their fear and their anger."
The maestro of the Obamacare repeal now says that he was referring to common "scare-tactics" used to "drum up fear," but nothing is more alarming than miscuing the national reaction to the resurrection of this fetid corpse known as the American Health Care Act.
MacArthur doesn't seem to remember: Sarah Palin and her acolytes used "death panel" to spread a lie - refuted in every advanced culture - that government involvement in health care means rationing and death.
