Andrew Romanoff answers questions in Frisco

Former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff today told a small Frisco luncheon group that he wants to become the state’s U.S. Senator so that he can help build coalitions and get things done. He said he supports a single-payer health care system, including a government-run health insurance plan in President Obama’s health bill, and he likes a proposal that would get employers out of the health insurance business. Without being specific about how he would create jobs, Romanoff said Congress needs to help unemployed Americans get jobs. “We’re in charge now, and we ought to act that way,” he declared. The Senate is a country club and it needs to stop dithering, he said. If the Republican minority wants to filibuster the health and other bills, he said, let them.
