Invite Lois Quam
It would be a better idea to invite the woman behind the man, Lois Quam, to the debate. Since it is Mrs Quam's millions and millions and … read more millions of dollars Matt is threatening to use against the other DFL candidates ( please no private investigators this time) it would be better to hear from her what she,I mean Matt, has in mind. Lois can tell us about health care reform. She has been against a public option before she was for it. She worked at United (we oppose, even when Lois Quam worked for us) Health (care reform) Group putting in place the various policies President Obama is trying to change. Quam was paid a good salary but also recieved millions and millions and millions of back dated stock options for her good work denying people coverage and reimbursements. Maybe she can talk about the need for reforming CEO compensation. Didn't she also work at a brokerage firm during the economic meltdown and bailout fiasco. At least she could educate us about the virtues of wall street and insurance companies. On second thought maybe she isn't the best person to champion Matts campaign. I hope Matt will tell us how much of Lois's blood money he intends to spend and how he respects individual privacy. Maybe they both should go away and give back the blood money to those organizations providing health care to the uninsured due to being denied by Lois anr then employer UHG.
