This is the same fellow who ran away to Canada rather than serve
This is the same fellow who ran away to Canada rather than serve in the post war German Army, then came down to the USA for the big bucks.
He is an admitted proponent of the "single payer" scheme, otherwise known as socialized medicine. He was part of the Hillary health care fiasco. Well, whom else would you expect from Corzine? A man who won't defend his own country tinkering with the health of another.
