CRAIG MILLER IS ON DISABILITY

and that's a government-run program! The guy who gave Sen. Specter a talk-radio rant crucially depends on the government for his health.

Angry area man becomes face of health care debate
Lebanon resident's confrontation with Specter draws national attention, much like 'Joe the Plumber' in the '08 presidential campaign.

Miller said he has only become active in politics the past couple of months, when he started writing letters to the editor.

He has been on disability for four years because of heart problems and fibromyalgia. Before that, he worked many jobs, most recently at Murry's Steaks. He is covered through his wife's health insurance plan, which she got working at Hershey Foods Corp. and which they maintained after her recent retirement. He said he has been content with the Highmark Blue Shield plan, which is one reason he would like insurance to remain with private companies.

Miller knows his disability payments are covered through a government-run plan.

"I'm not against all government programs," he said, "just those where they are stepping in where they don't have to step in. Their main job is to take care of those citizens who don't have a voice."

He believes it is government interference that prevents doctors from prescribing medications strong enough to control his pain and let him go back to work.

The article goes on to confirm my suspicion that Miller is just another talk-radio stooge:

Miller, who said he learned of the town hall meeting from a newspaper item, likes to watch Fox News and enjoys commentators Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity.

He said he thinks Obama wants to set himself up as a dictator for life.

"He has set up a shadow government and plans on crossing the Rubicon," Miller said.
