Jackson Democrats rally in favor of health care reform JACKSON, WY (wpr) - U-S Senator Mike Enzi spoke on the floor of the senate today, decrying the health care bill moving through Congress. Enzi says the bill will mean higher taxes and higher health insurance premiums for Americans. Meanwhile, here in Wyoming, a group in Jackson rallied in support of health care reform. The rally was set up by Democrats and local activists. State Democratic Party chair Leslie Petersen was there. She says she hopes events like this will show the Congressional delegation that there is support in Wyoming for the health care bills.
"If they don't get on board and try and be productive and positive and reasonable in this debate, it will not work for the Republicans' best interest in the long run. There are simply too many people affected by the inability to have health care."
So far, all three members of Wyoming's Congressional delegation have opposed the health care bills put forward.
The rally in Jackson was the latest in a series of rallies by supporters of reform in Wyoming.
