Harkin Read Letter from Staffer's Relative At Health Care Meeting

Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, read a letter from a distressed constituent concerning the cost of health care. The constituent stated that costs were spiraling out of control stating that in the future he would pay in excess of $42,000 a year.

Sen. Harkin offered no proof as to the contents of the letter, but he used it as a dagger to the heart of fairness and honesty concerning the health care reform debate.

Nor did Sen. Harkin divulge that the letter was from a relative of one of his staff.

Convenient, eh?
