Let Every American Have the Same Health Insurance As Congress

[ins.dave]

I have heard some Caifornian Hale-Bopp Democrats say again in the last few days that Cuban has the best system. If so, why not set our sights higher and go for the best. Why not a bill that says that every American will be guaranteed the same level of health care that every Cuban gets. Barney should like that because if you get sick you end out sharing a bed with two other men.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuh; help, I can't breathe ...

this is a brilliant political move.
and it's pro-private insurance, because that's what congress has. each federal employee has a choice of a wide variety of group medical insurance policies.

for those congresspersons who vote "no" against this, they are telling avg americans that they (congress) will keep the best coverage for themselves and leave the crumbs for the rest of the ocuntry.

for those congresspersons who vote 'yes' they are voting 'yes' to private insurance.

its' a brilliant political move.
it perfectly demonstrates the hypocrisy of those advocating for 'health insurance reform'.

We concur.
Total put up or shut up.
As it would be economically unsustainable … the wall comes a tumbl'n down.
I'll be pump'n the fair maiden a plenty when it does. Metaphorically speaking of course.

I wonder if all of those wally's in Washington realize that if they vote to pass the public option, eventually the insurance companies who currently insure them, will go broke and go away.
Then they will be with the general public, with a crap, overpriced plan.

Just a passing thought.

I do not disagree that with a public option private insurers will eventually go away...The part i disagree with is to think Congress will subject themselves to the same coverage as averge folks...I can forsee that while in DC they go to Walter Reed and they make sure Walter Reed would be staffed with some of the best medical care around for special VIP patients that is....

it's easier to give us a cookie and set us in front of the TV than to deal with the problem. Heaven forbid we should have to do any real parenting and governing, why not just let them watch another episode of Jon and Kate +8 and just deal with it later.

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all Members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough! Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana!

Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt).

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his Website and sign his petition (very simple - just first, last and email). I have immediately done just that at:http://fleming.house.gov/index.html


Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!

If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families.
