DAVE: This quote appears on Jason Altmire's official House website:

"Prior to his election to Congress in 2006, Jason spent 15 years in health care policy, working as a congressional staffer, a hospital association executive and for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center."

I think that pretty much explains why he is so adamantly opposed to health care reform.

DAD: You've got that right. Rahm Emanuel, when he was still in congress, was the chair of the Democratic House Campaign Committee. He helped the democrats capture congress in 2006 by recruiting "conservative" democrats to run in GOP held, conservative districts. Now it has come back to bite the democrats.
