Health Care Reform and Down Syndrome

Pete Sessions introduces self-serving legislation

Wick Allison, FrontBurner publisher, and Pete Sessions (R-TX) share what Allison describes as "one of life's great joys": they both have a Down syndrome child in their families. That makes it hard for me to say anything critical of what Sessions does to improve the government and non-profit resources available for his child and other disabled children. But it doesn't stop Wick Allison. In FrontBurner, he points out one very special case where Sessions makes an exception to his opposition to the health care reform now making its way through Congress. It's a bill introduced by Sessions to make it "so that his son (and my daughter) will receive every extra dollar of federal money that can be squeezed no matter what."
