This was on a Pittsburgh station.

Note the quote from Phillip Baker, who used to be at NIH. I had a long talk with him many years ago when he was there. He showed little sympathy then, and even less now that he heads the ALDF.

Lorraine Johnson had a good response to him. Glad to see that!

Looks like a decent bill, although it has been changed a good bit.

I also wish they would include ALL insurers because not doing so leaves many people without coverage.

Thanks for sharing Ann-OH.
