47 Million Un-Insured says his ad in Indiana
The 47 Mil number might be subject to investigation. However, his position on correcting the short-fall is of interest. One might ask why, if the Senator is interested in reducing that number, his voting record does not support his contention.
It appears that only if health care is provided by others' bucks, is it acceptable.
On March 14, 2008, Vote No. 82 was held in the US Senate on S Con Res 70. A successful outcome would have allowed a change to the Internal Revenue code. The change would have allowed an above the line deduction for taxpayers who buy their own coverage, outside of the workplace.
The measure failed, Yea - 45; Nay - 51; Not Voting - 4. Senator Obama voted against.
One may verify this information at US Senate or even better Muslims for Obama Once there, use the voting record link. Even though the Washington Post is the source, this vote, at least, was accurately reported.
