Statement of Bob Fulkerson, State Director, Progressive Leadership Alliance, regarding the Senate vote to proceed with debate on health care reform legislation:

 

“Nevada’s working families can take comfort in this historic breakthrough on health care reform. Sen. Reid has demonstrated tremendous leadership in getting to the 60 votes necessary to move this landmark bill forward. It is unfortunate that his colleague from Nevada, Sen. Ensign, has chosen to side with the insurance companies and against consumers.  We are about to enter a new era in achieving affordable, accessible health care for all.”
