ATLANTA, GA -- Today, Michael Coles, candidate for United States Senate, refuted more lies spread by Paul Coverdell concerning their respective positions on HMO reform. Coverdell’s claims, which refer to Coles’ HMO ad featuring Jodi Garrison, were made in a new television advertisement. “In yet another lie to the voters of Georgia, Paul Coverdell has proven again that he will do ‘whatever it takes’ to avoid talking about his record on HMO reform,” stated Coles. “I, on the other hand, will do ‘whatever it takes’ to make sure that the families of Georgia have the right to sue their HMO or insurance carrier if they are denied the treatment they need -- a right that Coverdell has.” “Coverdell just doesn’t get it, tragedies like Jodi Garrison’s are not only true, but they happen all too often,” Coles continued. “If Coverdell needs to ignore the reality of these HMO horror stories in order to justify his record in his own mind then that explains his new ad.” “Despite Coverdell’s efforts to hide from his own record, the issue is simple,” stated Coles. “Paul Coverdell has the right to sue his health insurance carrier but the families of Georgia do not.” “Insurance salesman Paul Coverdell continues to side with the insurance industry by denying everyday citizens the right to sue their HMO,” Coles stated. “Unlike Coverdell, I am on the side of the families of Georgia, who deserve the same health care rights as Paul Coverdell.” Here’s the Real Story: |
