Bill Hedrick (CA-44th) on health reform

You’ll recall that Bill Hedrick (D) is challenging robotically conservative Ken Calvert (R) in the California 44th (Riverside and Orange Counties). He came surprisingly close last time, and he has a much better funded, better organized effort this time around.

In a comment several weeks ago, I questioned whether Hedrick supports the public option, based on some ambiguous wording in a campaign email. Now, on the basis of a new email, I can say that he apparently does support the public option (though admittedly there’s still a bit of wiggle room):

Last night, President Obama addressed the nation on an issue we all know is critically important: making sure every American receives quality, affordable health care. . . .

Ken Calvert’s response?  Falsehoods, fabrication and fear mongering.  Just read what he had to say:

“It’s the pathway to nationalized health care.” – Press-Enterprise

“The public option is an absolute deal killer.” – Orange County Register

Enough is enough!



My position couldn’t be more clear: I support fundamental health care reform – and I support it now!

Having Hedrick in Congress instead of Calvert would make a huge difference in terms of voting record. You can support him on Act Blue.

  1. I am so sick or obstructionist Republicans.  Maybe he missed the part of the speech last night about doing what’s right.  We need to get rid of Calvert and finally get a Rep. who isn’t just another rubber stamp for the party of no!
