Yes We Can! Long Island 2012I got to witness something really special. About a dozen tea party activists had staked out Franken’s booth, and confronted him loudly when he arrived. But within minutes, he’d turned an unruly crowd into a productive conversation on health care. The discussion went from insurance reform, to the public option, to veterans benefits, to cap and trade. He made a few laugh and even told a touching story that moved a few to tears. A whole lot of common ground was found.

Way to go Al!
Senator Franken did an excellent job of describing why we need comprehensive health care reform. Not even the tea baggers could disagree with him in the end. The Senator focused on :
-the need for portability
-the need to ban pre-existing conditions
-the need to control run away costs which are non sustainable.
