Josh Shapiro drank the Kool-Aid. Speaking before a gathering of local health insurance agents, brokers and carrier reps, the Pennsylvania state delegate who represents Montgomery County outside of Philadelphia, sounded eerily like Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House who rallied fellow Democrats to pass health care reform in March.
