That is the only thing that one conclude based on the assertion in a front page article that Republicans are opposed to health care reform because they: "consider [reform] to be a disastrous government intervention in the nation's health-care system."
Yes, that is what Republican members of Congress say, but how do we know that this is true. Republicans get lots of money from the pharmaceutical industry, the insurance industry, the hospital industry and they also have a direct political interest in embarrassing President Obama and the Democrats in Congress. Many of us might think that politicians could be motivated by these political considerations. Fortunately, we have the Washington Post to tell us that they acted out of their concern for the good of the country.
There's too much at stake this November for us to quit. As we navigate another presidential election year, thoughtful independent journalism is more important than ever. We're committed to bringing you the latest news on what's really happening across the country this election season, shining a light on the stories corporate media overlooks and keeping the public informed about how power really works in America.
Quality reporting doesn't come for free, and we don't have corporate backers to rely on to fund our work. Everything we do is thanks to our incredible community of readers, who chip in a few dollars at a time to make what we do possible. This month, we're trying to raise $50,000 to help fuel our election coverage, and we've fallen behind on reaching our goal. Any amount you give today will bring us closer to making our reporting possible—and a generous donor has agreed to match all online donations, so your impact will be doubled.
