Health care reform is a huge issue for millions of Americans. And there’s a whole bunch of candidates out there talking about what they think that reform should look like, including Minnesota’s Senatorial candidates. The Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Action Fund recently sent out a series of mail pieces discussing Norm Coleman’s ties with the Pharmaceutical and Insurance Industries.
Coleman has taken almost a million dollars combined from the Pharmaceutical and Insurance Industry. He’s also voted against expanding coverage for kids in the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. He’s also voted against allowing the government to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors.
As a Senator, Norm Coleman gets his health benefits courtesy of the taxpayers of the United States, including you and me here in Minnesota---but he votes against giving Minnesotan’s those same benefits.
Fortunately, Norm’s opponent, Al Franken, is not taking ANY money from the insurance and d
rug companies - a principled stand previously adopted by the late Senator Paul Wellstone. So if you ask me, it’s pretty clear that Al is the candidate who is working for the best interesting of Minnesotans, rather than the special interests.The Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Action fund has endorsed Al and has launched a major voter contact campaign on his behalf because we know he’s committed to fighting to make sure that everyone has access to affordable, high-quality healthcare, INCLUDING reproductive health care.
