" To a new Rasmussen poll. Most Americans oppose the health care legislation even though the house passed it and our next guest is one of those Americans he's also a democratic congressman. Voted against his own party. Joining us live from Cleveland Ohio democratic congressman Dennis Kucinich good morning -- congressman. Good morning. So -- will be surprised to find out that you voted against this health for care reform bill because we would think that the people the Democrats who voted against it would be. The more conservative Democrats that you actually come at this from a hold of and -- right."

" Well I'm. But as Democrat a little more independent. But I don't see this is health care reform when you're bailing out the insurance industry -- mandating that people buy private insurance you're delivering. Seventy billion dollars. Annually in new revenue to the insurance industry 21 million Americans at least we'll have to buy private insurance. Paying out of their pockets for premium co pays and deductibles and paying twice because their taxes are going until. I mean this is not a government take over this is. A gift to the private insurers so I voted against it so weight -- and it's not liberal enough for you this particular bill because you want a single Payer system. I don't look at things in terms of liberal or conservative I think that my position is in line with the center of -- of America at this moment. And that is that I think people want to see. The government take action to make sure that everyone can have insurance now that's not what was in front of the congress. What we're doing is we're subsidizing private insurance is about insurance -- it's not about health care. And so you know we don't want a Democrat I'm I'm obliged to represent my constituents is well in Cleveland Ohio. And frankly we have a lot of people who don't have health care. This bill doesn't solve their problem that just from compels him to buy insurance and everybody out there -- insurance companies make money not providing healthcare. Big difference between saying."

" Well I have insurance and I have Carol let me be clear congressman you actually would then not be in favor of taxing. The American people as much as apparently -- health car care reform bill would cost us he would not be in favor of that. I'm in favor of Medicare fraud."

" And that way everyone's covered. And the private insurers aren't skimming off the top taken one out of every three dollars for corporate profits stock options executive salaries. Advertising marketing costs and paperwork. I don't thought the insurance companies for being what they are the business to make money there for profit he's fine except it's Iran model if you're talking about."

" And taking care of the people of this country. It just that there's a disconnect their way in our aspirations if we're if it's all about free market failure -- have a lot of people without insurance we -- interesting take on the issues were glad to have you as our guests congressman Dennis Kucinich out of Cleveland this morning thank you. Thank you while we hope your."
