Mollohan does not know what the 10th Amendment is!
WHEELING, W.Va. — Residents packed in to a town hall meeting in Wheeling on Friday to hear West Virginia Rep. Alan B. Mollohan answer questions about the much-debated topic of national health care reform.
Mollohan, a Democrat, represents the state’s 1st Congressional District. He spoke for about 20 minutes before the question and answer session at Wheeling Jesuit University, highlighting portions of HR 3200, a bill that he said is still being revised. He said the current version of the bill prohibits lifetime and annual limits on benefits.
It has uniform benefits for all, Mollohan said.
Under the bill, Mollohan said businesses would be required to provide insurance for employees. Small businesses with payrolls less than $250,000 a year would be exempt, but he said these numbers are always changing.
Mollohan said the bill would also make anyone within 133 percent of poverty level eligible for Medicaid.
The dialogue became heated at times.
I cant think of a single thing the government does and does it well, one attendee said.
