On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment, courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn which would require all Members of Congress and their staff members to enroll in any new government-run health plan. Congressman John Fleming has proposed an amendment that would require Congressmen and Senators to take the same health care plan that they would force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are exempt.)
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition. The process is very simple. I have done just that at:

Senator Coburn and Congressman Fleming are both physicians. Regardless of your political beliefs, it sure seems reasonable that Congress should have exactly the same medical coverage that they impose on the rest of us. Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!

If it is good for the peasants, its MUST be for congress too.
ReplyDeleteOf course they are not "imposing" any public "option".
ReplyDeleteThey may be requiring insurance companies to stop that stupid "pre-existing" crap but we would all want that.
They have their own insurance that covers all governement employees. They can sign up for it, but they won't be using it. Just like most of the rest of us.
