Lieberman Opposes Public Health Proposal

HeadlineJul 02, 2009

As Democrats advance a proposal for some form of public healthcare, former Democrat turned independent Senator Joseph Lieberman has announced he’s likely to oppose it. In an interview with the New Haven Independent, Lieberman said he is “skeptical” of a public health option both “in substance” and in its likelihood to attract congressional support. Lieberman has been a top recipient of healthcare industry donations, taking in more than $1.8 million over his congressional career.
