Last month Republicans in the Minnesota House overwhelmingly supported a bill to fund General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC) a program that provides health care to the poorest of Minnesota's poor. All of the Republicans who voted for GAMC last month voted against it today. The had been no changes in the bill. It would cost less than what will happen without its passage and it covers more people. So why didn't Republicans vote for the bill this time? Because Governor Tim Pawlenty (also a Republican) had vetoed it. This is a video of the entire debate. Distributed by Tubemogul.
Representative Tony Sertich (DFL Chisholm, MN) makes a passionate speech in support of overriding Governor Pawlenty's veto of General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC) which is health care for the poorest of the poor in Minnesota. The override vote did fail, but because Sertich switched his vote when it was apparent there would not be the needed three Republican votes to override, the measure may be brought up at a later date.

Representative David Bly (DFL- Northfield, MN) says it is hard to trust Republicans in negotiations over health care for the poor when their leader, Governor Tim Pawlenty, has said he wants to "take a 9 iron to government spending" and poor people are at the other end of that 9-iron.
