Those high-priced Maine insurance policies are largely the result of something very close to a monopoly, and granted, that's partly the fault of the state. But health care reform has provisions to smash those pseudo-monopolies. It's an aspect of reform that has a great deal of support in Maine, the idea that competition will lower costs.

I have seen nothing in Connecticut Newspapers or local TV about Lieberman voting 'no'----- nor the liberal blogs-huffington post of daily kos.

make sure your propaganda is not coming from Faux News.

I think Lieberman was on Fox News, and stated that he would not vote for this bill as it is currently written. He essentially shut the door, but left it unlocked so that he could revisit the issue. He knows that it's going to be modified further. But just because he said it on Fox doesn't mean he didn't really say it.

Again

Lieberman on Faux News means nothing- in Connecticut he is worth a red cent, along with his corporate lobbyist wife.
