OMAHA, Neb. (AP) _ Nebraska's U.S. Rep. Lee Terry is among a group of congressional Republicans targeted by a Democratic-aligned group pressuring lawmakers to pass health care reform. Americans United for Change says it has launched what will be more than 650,000 automated robocalls this week in 10 House districts held by Republicans _ including Terry's 2nd District in the Omaha-area of Nebraska. The automated calls say Terry is happy to have government health care himself, but opposed letting Americans buy the same health insurance as members of Congress. Terry did vote against a House health care reform bill in November, but had earlier in the year proposed letting the nation's uninsured opt into the federal employees' health care plan that covers members of Congress.
