Well, has anyone heard back from Chris Dodd after your "Health Care Debate" ideas?

[MrMickeysMom]

He wanted me to have my chance to speak out. If I had something to say -- an idea, a suggestion, my own story to share. I sure the hell shared mine...

Next thing I hear is the comittee saying SINGLE PAYER DOESN'T HAVE SUPPORT FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Well, is that what YOU said?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The wife of a senator playing a lead role on a national health care overhaul sits on the boards of four health care companies, one of several examples of lawmakers with ties to the medical industry. Jackie Clegg Dodd, wife of Sen. Chris Dodd, serves on the boards of Javelin Pharmaceuticals Inc., Cardiome Pharma Corp., Brookdale Senior Living, and Pear Tree Pharmaceuticals, a financial disclosure report the senator released Friday shows.

Sen. Dodd, D-Conn., is filling in for ailing Sen. Edward Kennedy, chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which will soon start work on a health care bill. Dodd will shepherd the legislation through the Senate.
