Sen. Craig Pridemore, a Democratic candidate for Congress in Washington's 3rd District, gives his views on health care reform.Howie P.S.: The current occupant of this Congressional seat, Brian Baird, is featured in a WaPo story this morning:
Rep. Brian Baird (D-Wash.) had a lengthy meeting in the Oval Office on Tuesday morning -- the first time he has had such an audience with a president in his 12 years in office."He understands well that the current system is unsustainable," said Baird, who came away with a positive impression of the president's knowledge of the health-care system.
Baird, who is retiring this year, said he has agonized over his decision. He was among the Democrats who broke with the party last fall to vote against the original House bill. He woke at 4 a.m. Wednesday to read the health-care legislation that the Senate approved on Christmas Eve.
The wavering lawmaker, however, said he stands by what he told Obama: He still needs to see the specifics of the new House bill, including a forthcoming analysis from the Congressional Budget Office.
