Lieberman Opposes Public Health Proposal
----------------------------------------



As Democrats advance a proposal for some form of public healthcare,
former Democrat turned independent Senator Joseph Lieberman has
announced he’s likely to oppose it. In an interview with the New Haven
Independent, Lieberman said he is “skeptical” of a public health option
both “in substance” and in its likelihood to attract congressional
support. Lieberman has been a top recipient of healthcare industry
donations, taking in more than $1.8 million over his congressional
career.
