Standing up for "the poorest of the poor, the sickest of the sick"

Representatives Tony Sertich and Lyn Carlson make moving arguments why the Minnesota House should override Governor Tim Pawlenty's veto of health care for poor, disabled people - many of whom are veterans.

Despite thier arguments, and those of many others on the floor and in the Minnesota House, the override effort failed to get the needed 2/3 majority. Every single Republican member chose to stand with Pawlenty over the needs of whom Pawlenty's Human Services Commissioner says are "the poorest of the poor, the sickest of the sick"
