Michael Enzi

Sen. Michael Enzi, R-Wyo., ranking member on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, was initially viewed by liberals as someone who could help them negotiate with the GOP on a health care bill, but as the debate wore on, this hope began to fade. In August 2009, Enzi wrote a USA Today op-ed that renewed the death panel argument, warning that under Democratic proposals “Washington bureaucrats would literally decide whether patents would live or die by rationing newer, more expensive therapy.”
