(S.D.)-Herseth Sandlin Defends Health Care Vote

By: Chad Franzen Posted at: 11/19/2009 10:52 AM


SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin (D) says she's not swayed by a liberal group's online attack ads calling her out for voting against a health care reform bill.

The South Dakota Democrat was one of 39 in her party who voted against the legislation that passed the House.

Herseth Sandlin says the bill had a number of good provisions, but she voted against it because it could have threatened existing access and didn't include enough cost containment and deficit reduction measures.

The Progressive Change Campaign Committee launched an online ad that labeled Herseth Sandlin one of "10 bad Democrats" who betrayed the party on a core Democratic issue.

Herseth Sandlin says that nothing an out-of-state partisan group says is going to sway her from doing what she thinks is best for South Dakota.
