Politico has an article about Eric Massa's visit from members of Healthcare for America Now (HCAN). The group, which is pro health reform, delivered 5,000 signatures to Massa's office on Tuesday, and representatives from that group met with Massa on Wednesday.
Massa's in an interesting position on healthcare reform. He opposes the current bill because it does not include a strong public option to compete with private insurers. Because of that opposition, groups like HCAN are lobbying him to vote for the bill. Yet his fundamental position, support of single-payer health care, is consistent with HCAN's, and anathema to the right-wing groups planning a visit to tonight's town hall in Mendon.
