Democrat Physician Switches Parties
Representative Parker Griffith (D-AL) switched political parties to become a Republican because on his disdain for the Democratic push for health care reform at all costs. This switch is significant for many reasons including one less vote in the House of Representatives for the Democrats.
Representative Griffith is an oncologist and one of the few physicians with a real voice in the process. His opinion is more relevant because he has experienced the health care system as a practicing doctor before running for office. He is a freshman congressman so he has no favors to repay from a career in politics. It also means that his experience is current and not dated.
He said on Tuesday that he could “no longer align myself with a party that continues to pursue legislation that is bad for our country.” I wish more congressmen would become reasonable like Representative Griffith. He seems to have aligned himself with the majority of the country.
This is bad legislation that is horrible for the country and will lead to a financial catastrophe for all.
