I was glad to see that he stayed even against the reminders of his handlers that he was behind schedule. At one point, as someone was asking him a question, he interrupted the speaker and told his assistant “So we’ll be late. Pleast let them know”. It was clear that he wasn’t in a rush to avoid further questioning. Maybe the folks in Riverside, NJ are a tougher bunch than those of us here in Cherry Hill!
Still, I’d agree with just about anyone on dessert!
Good for Adler for at least listening.
Representative Lance (R) is already outspoken opposing the bill. However, Congressman Frank Pallone (D) is FOR the healthcare bill.
I may have to pay my old district a visit on 8/24.
Rep. Frank Pallone Jr.

that should read “ a butt heavy”
haha.
He’s a not to be trusted, just cornered and scared of losing his job, hmmmmm maybe that will make him understand how everyone else feels!
This “special needs” part of the bill needs to pointed out by Rush or Sean. I didn’t know about it until now and I’m a news junkie. Please pass this news about the “special needs” clause around!
In my opinion, they shouldn't have to read a bill to vote AGAINST it, A single sentence can make a bill worthy of defeat! By regulation or law, they should have to certify in writing that they have read an entire bill before voting FOR it!
I would have been a fly on the wall when he told her.
I am not sure that is the right clause...I know I have seen it but I just checked 1177. Don’t think that is it.
Here is what is on Wiki
Sec. 1176. Limitation on enrollment outside open enrollment period of individuals into chronic care specialized MA plans for special needs individuals.
Sec. 1177. Extension of authority of special needs plans to restrict enrollment.
“I’ll believe him when I see is NAY vote.
Remember, he’s a politician..they talk from both sides of their ASS.”
There fixed it.
No potatoes for comrade Adler...it’s off to gulag and the Arctic Circle sub-committee for him and any other thought criminals who can be identified...
Hopefully this will clear things up.

ACK!
Thanks for your thorough report.
astounding NJ ping
Thank you for posting. Adler sounds like the old democrats, not the new Communists, Socialists and progressives. The ones that really care about our country and her people.
I don’t trust him but at least he showed up. Where is Riverside? What is the area like? I wonder if other distructs in blue Nj are the same??
Corzine is sinking in the polls.
Gerald Nadler is a YES vote for sure. That pig is as progressive as they come.
