A compromise on health care legislation is being discussed in Washington, but it hasn’t won over a critic in Missouri. Associated Industries of Missouri still stands opposed. AIM President Chris Long says the group remains opposed, because the bill still allows consumers to sue their employers over the health care they receive. And Long is unimpressed with the caps it would impose on any monetary liability awards. The compromise has won the support of Senator Ashcroft. He had opposed the legislation until now. Long refused to criticize Ashcroft for the switch. AIM is a traditional supporter of Ashcroft.
